Two air traffic controllers engage in a competitive rivalry that threatens their careers and relationships.

Nick 'the Zone' Falzone and the boys (and one girl) work air traffic control at New York's TRACON, where it is busy 24/7. With egos that rival hotshot military pilots, they thrive on pressure and let pushing tin infect their lives. Nick is undisputed king until quiet Russell Bell arrives with a record of pure perfection and recklessness.
