When XIII washed up on that beach one day, with the head wound that
robbed him of his memory, he was rescued by Abe and Sally Smith. The
old couple took him in and nursed him back to health out of kindness,
but also because he looked a little like their son Alan, killed in
operation in Vietnam. In fact, however, Alan's story is a bit more
complicated than that, and his fate closely tied to XIII's. Now,
discover the birth of the Conspiracy, through a few very difficult
days in the life of Wally Sheridan, caught in the merciless schemes
of the true brain behind the plot ...
1884. Après plusieurs années de nomadisme imposé par son apostolat, le pasteur Wright s'installe à Dayton. A sa mort, ses deux fils, Orville et Wilbur, fondent une imprimerie et une fabrique de vélos qui deviennent vite les entreprises les plus prospères de la région. Cette réussite n'empêche pas les deux frères de développer leur goût de la mécanique et plus particulièrement leur passion pour les plus lourds que l'air. Ils sont absolument convaincus que l'homme pourra un jour voler.
