Alaska Wing Men: Convict on Board

Alaska Wing Men: Convict on Board
There is no local jail in the small Alaskan town of Noorvik, so pilot Zaz Staheli must transport an intoxicated female convict to the nearest prison facility. Across the state, pilot Drake Olson struggles to safely drop off backcountry skiers, but the flat light caused by increasing cloud cover has practically eliminated his depth perception. With one skier already at the drop site, Olson battles the clock and fights for daylight in order to reunite the group.
