Jon Emerson, a fallen ALPHA father once involved with his daughters, Sandra, Emma, and Anna, soon learns of his less than perfect, and inconsistent performance as a man, father and husband. With the inspiration of a coffee mug from the X-31 Electronic Flight Management program, a gift to Jon from years gone by, he and his daughters grow to learn they have all caught and taught as Jon performs some rather awesome and determined EFM ... or, as his girls call it, Exceptional Father Maneuvers.
