From the beaches at Kitty Hawk, Keegan Crawford tinkers inside his rundown scooter shop. A teenager who barely finished high school, Keegan runs the business and looks after his ailing father.
While Keegan laments his all-around bad luck, he resents his sister Katharine, who left the family during its hardest time to attend college in Ohio.
Keegan's only hobby, and only friend, is his invention-an incredible flying scooter. As business slows and the Crawfords struggle to make ends meet, Keegan labors frantically in the back of the shop, desperate to finish his creation and make the amazing scooter fly. But his limited aeronautical knowledge, mounting financial pressures and continued family turmoil threaten his success. Like everything else in Keegan's life, it seems like his invention is destined to fail.
Until the Brothers arrive.
Wilbur and Orville Wright, the great inventors of the airplane, fly into Kitty Hawk to lend the Crawfords a hand. With their exhaustive attention to detail, unmatched technical expertise, good humor and impeccable style, the famous Wright Brothers have the best chance of anyone in history to set Keegan on the right course and help the Crawford siblings reconcile.
If they don't drive him crazy first, the Wright Brothers might just be able to help Keegan Crawford take flight...
