An unexpected pregnancy ends an ace fighter pilot's career in the sky. Reassigned to operate military drones from a windowless trailer outside Las Vegas, she hunts terrorists by day and returns to her family each night. As the pressure to track a high-profile target mounts, the boundaries begin to blur between the desert in which she lives and the one she patrols half a world away. Grounded is a gripping tale of the emotional, physical, and psychological tolls of modern warfare, but through its narrative, we see that humanity can be found even in the complex web of conflict.
