Drawn from the author’s own life, "Burning Blue" explores the concepts of love, friendship and honor in the U.S. Navy, when a routine accident investigation turns into a modern-day Witch Hunt. Following two fatal mishaps involving F-18 jets aboard an aircraft carrier, a government agent is placed aboard the ship to determine what may be at the root of these accidents. His mission abruptly changes course when a young sailor reports seeing one of the fleet's top-ranking fighter pilots in a gay club. The suspected aviator and three of his squadron mates and their spouses become the subjects of a deadly investigation entangling them in a web of jealousy and deceit, changing their lives forever.

Sometimes this movie was hard to follow, but it gets stronger toward the end. It deals with what it was like before and after “don’t ask don’t tell.” I’ll have to admit, that I’m not quite sure I’d have made the same decisions these guys did, but who’s to say. If your goal is to be in the space program, should anything else matter? Just a question to pose. To me it’s about a person’s goals and what’s ultimately the most important thing in our lives. So it’s a toss up for me because I’m not sure what I’d do in the same circumstances.
