Résumé

AT 40,000 FEET UP... THERE IS NO PLACE TO HIDE.

Kate Hood is searching for a second chance.
A contract pilot for a private jet company, she lives a quiet life with her partner and his son, after leaving the military in disgrace.

But when she is forced to take a secretive, last-minute assignment - with no questions asked about her mysterious passengers or the prisoner they have with them - Kate finds herself in a lethal dilemma: she must hijack her own aircraft, or the people she loves will die.

Trapped in an escalating crisis, Kate must unravel a deadly puzzle to survive the night. But who is the prisoner? And who - if anyone - can she trust?
