About this listen

The sky has a memory and it's starting to fade. Thirteen-year-old Sebastian has always been drawn to the rusted gates of the Miller Creek Airfield, a place where history feels stuck in a holding pattern. But when he discovers a pair of iridescent, purple-tinted aviator goggles hidden in his grandfather's attic, the world shifts. Through their lenses, the horizon is no longer empty; it's a graveyard of glowing flight paths and shimmering ghost-planes from a war long forgotten.

When Sebastian inadvertently summons the Wraith-Wing a legendary prototype aircraft that vanished in 1944 he is thrust into a cockpit made of cold light and silver echoes. He isn't just flying; he's being hunted. A creeping, neon-green static is devouring the town's history, erasing monuments and memories alike. To stop it, Sebastian must follow the breadcrumbs left by the original Phantom Pilot, Elias Vance.

From the underwater runways of Altitude 0 to the heart of a storm that defies the laws of physics, Sebastian must master a silent engine powered by his own resolve. With the help of a mysterious clockmaker and a forgotten shortwave radio, he must complete a final delivery eighty years in the making.

The coordinates are set. The engine is humming. But in a race against the erasure of time, Sebastian will have to decide: is he chasing a ghost, or is he becoming one?
