Plot Summary

U.S. Marshal Madolyn Harris arrests Winston, an accountant, while he is hiding in Alaska after turning informant against his former employer, the Moretti crime family. Madolyn charters a small airplane to take them to Anchorage so they can transfer to New York City, where she intends for Winston to testify against mobster Moretti. They are piloted by Daryl Booth, a Texan living in Alaska, who explains that the aircraft’s radio and GPS are regularly out of order. While shackled in the middle of the plane, Winston spots Daryl’s pilot license under the seat in front of him, noticing that the photograph is a different person from “Daryl.”

He tries to warn Madolyn, who has a headset on and cannot hear him. After a brief conversation with Madolyn, “Daryl” mentions how she will go to Seattle after reaching Anchorage. He should not have known this, thus he reveals himself to be a hitman using Daryl’s identity with orders to kill Winston. Madolyn manages to subdue him with a taser, and takes over piloting the plane. Using her satellite phone, Madolyn explains the situation to her direct superior, Caroline Van Sant. Caroline tells her that Winston must be kept alive if Moretti is to be brought to justice. Winston had skimmed $1 million from the Moretti crime family during his time working for them.

Caroline tells Madolyn that the real Daryl Booth had been tortured to death by “Daryl,” and that she will arrange for another pilot to call her to help navigate them to safety. Madolyn begins to grow suspicious of Caroline when “Daryl” knows information about her past that he should not have known—information that could only have come from the Marshals. Thus, Madolyn begins to suspect that Caroline is the leak to the mob. Madolyn then gets in touch with US Marshals Director Coleridge to explain her suspicions.
