From the Back Cover:

In his old age, Grandpa has become confused. He believes he is back in World War II, when he was an RAF Spitfire pilot. Only one person can understand him: his grandson, Jack.

When Grandpa is sent to Twilight Towers--an old folk's home run by sinister Matron Swine--it's up to Jack and Grandpa to plot a daring escape. Little do they know, the wicked matron is on to them. . . .
