Synopsis
Shin Kazama is deceived by a trusted friend into signing a contract that forces him to serve as a fighter pilot for mercenary forces engaged in Aslan's civil war. Driven by the need to accumulate enough funds to break the contract and go back to Japan, Shin becomes a lethal pilot at the dangerous base known as Area 88. Confronted with constant danger of death, he questions whether he can readjust to normal life and preserve his identity if he succeeds in leaving the war.
