A high-stakes thriller that traps a woman in a confined space with a killer, forcing her into a desperate game of wits and survival with her father's life hanging in the balance.

An overnight flight to Miami quickly becomes a battle for survival when Lisa realizes her seatmate plans to use her as part of a chilling assassination plot against the Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security. If she refuses to cooperate, her own father will be killed. As the miles tick by, she's in a race against time to find a way to warn the potential victims before it's too late.
