A comedic action-adventure romp through the moral chaos of a CIA covert operation in Laos, balancing buddy camaraderie with the darker realities of drug smuggling and war.

Air America was the CIA's private airline operating in Laos during the Vietnam War, running anything and everything from soldiers to foodstuffs for local villagers. After losing his pilot's license, Billy Covington is recruited, and ends up in the middle of a bunch of lunatic pilots, gun-running by his friend Gene Ryack, and opium smuggling by his own superiors.
