In a dying Flemish coal town in 1994, a fifteen-year-old inherits her grandfather's champion racing pigeons — and his secret: the old man rigged the greatest race in the region's history, and now the men he cheated want either the money or the birds. She must decide whether to win with a poisoned legacy, surrender the birds to the family they were stolen from, or tell the truth and fly clean.
