Set against the backdrop of pre-World War I Europe, the story revolves around John Castellan, an Irishman, and his groundbreaking invention that melds submarine and aerial warfare, dubbed the "Flying Fish." As tensions arise among nations and the fate of the world hangs in the balance, Castellan's work becomes a focal point for conflict and intrigue.

He is working tirelessly in his room, perfecting designs for innovative machinery that has the potential to change the dynamics of warfare. In Clifden, a chance encounter leads to a dramatic rescue of a girl from drowning, setting off a chain of events that intertwine Castellan’s personal motivations and ambitions with the larger geopolitical landscape of his time. Tension builds as Castellan grapples with his feelings of patriotism and the impact his inventions may have on his homeland and the world at large, ultimately hinting at looming global conflict that could arise from technological advances in weaponry.
