But he can't stay in the air forever. Only months before his 60th birthday, a culmination of family crises finally pull Jerry down from his emotionally distant course.

Zustand: Fair. : Aloft ofrece una reexaminación del sueño americano desde dentro, a través de la voz de Jerry Battle, un hombre de mediana edad que ha vivido toda su vida en Long Island, Nueva York. La distracción favorita de Battle es volar solo en su avioneta; escapándose para vuelos rápidos sobre la isla o a las ciudades costeras de Nueva Inglaterra, Jerry ha estado desapareciendo durante años. Entonces ocurre una crisis familiar, y Jerry se da cuenta de que debe enfrentar su desconexión en sus relaciones: con su difunta esposa, cuyas circunstancias de muerte nunca ha aceptado por completo; con su ex novia, a quien todavía anhela; con su hija, que se niega a abordar la enfermedad que amenaza su vida; con su hijo, que está en peligro de perder el negocio familiar; y con su padre, a quien ha colocado en un asilo de ancianos.
