Plot Summary

Recently widowed Berlin-based American aviation engineer Kyle Pratt is taking her husband David’s body back to the United States. Traveling with their six-year-old daughter Julia, they board a new double-decker aircraft Kyle helped design. Awakening from a nap, Kyle finds Julia is gone, and no one recalls seeing her. Flight attendant Stephanie tells her there is no record of her daughter boarding the flight, and Julia’s boarding pass and backpack are missing. At a panicked Kyle’s insistence, Captain Marcus Rich conducts a search, while sky marshal Gene Carson monitors her.

Kyle accuses two Arab passengers of stalking her daughter the night before, resulting in a fight and her being handcuffed. Kyle reveals that her husband died in an apparent fall from the roof of a building, though she suspects it was not a suicide. Captain Rich receives a message from a Berlin hospital that Julia died with her father, and is convinced that Kyle, unhinged by her husband’s and daughter’s deaths, imagined bringing her on board. The increasingly erratic Kyle is confined to her seat, where a therapist, Lisa, consoles her. Kyle doubts her own sanity until she notices the heart Julia drew in the condensation on the window next to her seat. Kyle asks to use the bathroom, where she climbs into the overhead crawl space, sabotaging the aircraft’s electronics.

In the ensuing chaos, she rides a dumbwaiter to the lower freight deck and unlocks David’s casket, suspecting Julia to be inside, but finds only her husband’s body. Carson escorts Kyle to her seat in handcuffs, and explains the flight is making an emergency stopover at Goose Bay Airport in Newfoundland and Labrador, where she will be taken into custody. Kyle pleads with Carson to search the hold. He sneaks down to the freight deck, removing two explosives and a detonator concealed in David’s casket.
