Twelve-year-old Dylan lives in Australia with his father Jack, who is closed off in his pain after the recent loss of his wife. One day, Dylan discovers he has a previously unknown talent: he is able to create and fly paper planes with great skill. While he attempts to refine and develop this ability, he finds himself involved in local competitions with the aim of reaching the world final in Tokyo. The obstacles to be overcome will be many, but thanks in part to the help of his grandfather, a former pilot, Dylan will continue his growth, in no small part thanks to the person who should be his greatest rival, Japanese champion Kimi.
