Herrick stands at the intersection of diplomacy and sudden fame, hosting the young flier while a growing avalanche of mail and million-dollar business offers descends upon the Embassy. He must manage the delicate choreography of receptions, officials, and public adoration without letting the moment overwhelm his guest.
