Based on the true story of the 'Lochnagar Crater' in Northern France.
David Skelton, suffering from acute claustrophobia, must travel from Edinburgh to New York on, of all things, an airplane. He’s supposed to receive an award that will boost his career, but getting there would be a supernatural feat, as he can’t even ride in a taxi. Confined to working at home, it’s been a hellish existence his entire life. David’s wife persuades him to let his shrink try again to cure him. Dr. Emrys believes phobias are inherited, and he’s been secretly experimenting with ‘regression hypnosis’ therapy that may reveal the root of the problem. Lying on a familiar couch in 1976, David finds himself back in the horrors of WWI alongside his grandfather, fighting the Germans in France. If he survives and finds the cause of his phobia, he may finally be cured and make it to New York. If not, it could mean the end of his career.
