Final Approach deals with the mental condition of Amnesia when a stealth test pilot, Col. Jason Halsey, is involved in an air disaster. A psychiatrist Dr. Dio Gottlieb attempts to help Halsey to recover his memory, but his motives seem strained. Is Gottlieb giving professional help or is he a counter-intelligence agent sent to debrief Halsey?
In the vein of Raymond Carver, this abstract monologue captures the hidden truth behind our personas. What happens when you “see” a person for the first time? No walls up, a real face emerges.
