Wings of Chance

“A pilot, trapped in an uncharted wilderness, stakes his life on the frail wings of a wild bird! The message it carries was his last hope for rescue!”
Red Kirby is a seasoned bush pilot. When he crash lands his plane near a remote lake in northern Alberta, he is initially optimistic that he will soon be rescued. However, as the months drag by, Kirby realizes that he must take his fate into his own hands. To combat the loneliness, he befriends a family of Canada geese.
