Taylor McIntyre, callsign “Ruckus,” is an F-18 fighter pilot struggling to find her place in the Navy after a tragic accident. When an alien spacecraft enters our solar system, headed for Earth, the Pentagon gathers our best fighter pilots and puts them through a crash course where they learn to fly a top-secret plane capable of dogfighting in space. Taylor overcomes self-doubt (and prejudice) to become the pilot — and starfighter— she’s meant to be.
