According to TV Fanatic, the movie stars Heather Hemmens (A Pinch of Portugal, Love Take Two) as Capt. Emma Fitzgerald.

Emma receives a two-year assignment at Nellis Air Force Base with the Thunderbirds team – the US Air Force’s famed demonstration squadron.

While at the base, Emma’s daughter, Lucy (Pietra Castro, Supergirl, The Power) becomes friends with Alice (Georgia Acken, Lucid, The Sacrifice Game), the daughter of a civilian widower, Paul (Niall Matter, The Aurora Teagarden Mysteries).

Meanwhile, the two girls make a plan to get their single parents together. In Lucy’s case, she hopes it will keep her mother from continually moving around.

Eventually, Emma and Paul are drawn to each other and there is a spark between them. However, Emma is overwhelmed by the demands of her Thunderbirds training.

She tells Paul she has to focus on her flying. However, when Alice’s health suddenly worsens, the only thing keeping Emma and Paul apart could ultimately be what brings them together.
