Complicating matters for Austin are his estranged son Michael, who struggles for his fathers acceptance as he graduates from flight school, and Jaime, who must cope with her and Steves past. When Michael is severely injured in a crash, Steve must make the same decision about fitting him with bionics that he had to make with Jaime years ago after her accident.
