Burning Blue

Best friends Lieutenants Dan Lynch (Trent Ford) and Will Stephensen (Morgan Spector) are U.S. Navy fighter pilots flying the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18C/D Hornet fighter aircraft. Both pilots have an aspiration to become the youngest pilots accepted into the space program. After two accidents, one of which is due to Will's failing eyesight, their unit is subject to a NCIS investigation led by John Cokely (Michael Sirow). At the same time, a third pilot, Matt Blackwood (Rob Mayes), arrives on the carrier and quickly develops a close friendship with Dan, driving a wedge between Dan and Will. Cokely's investigation leads to him uncovering rumors about Dan and Matt's relationship just as they both begin to fall in love. When Matt decides to leave his wife (Tammy Blanchard) and move in with Dan, there is a third accident, and Cokely's investigation ramps up the pressure on Dan. The investigation leads to a hearing at which Dan's father (Michael Crumpsty), an Admiral, chairs the panel. Rather than sign an admission that there was an isolated encounter with Matt, so that he could continue serving in the Air Force under the applicable regulations, Dan resigns his commission.
