The war is over, but that doesn't mean things are getting better
for PR man Wayne Ogden or any of the returning vets. The town of
Wichita, Kansas built around the industry of Collins Aircraft and
its wealthy founder, Everett Collins is not how they remember it.
Against the background violence committed by the returning soldiers
trying to make an adjustment back into civilian life, Wayne
attempts to destroy his former mentor and take down Collins
Aircraft the once fabled company that provided planes to Amelia
Earhart, Charles Lindbergh, and Wiley Post. All along the way he is
haunted by poison pen letters, anonymously sent, that carry threats
alluding to his black market work as a supply sergeant in the
Quartermaster Corps. As the letters reveal more and more of Wayne's
secretive wartime past, his plan to destroy Collins and his company
takes an increasingly darker turn that leads to blackmail,
extortion, and murder. Phillips expertly crafts an instant noir
classic that presents the birth of a postwar American criminal.
