Devastated and determined to bring the culprits to justice, Pete is suspended from his duties but decides to investigate on his own.

To infiltrate this world, Pete teams up with skydiving instructor Jessie Crossman and learns the art of skydiving himself.
As Pete trains under Jessie's guidance, he delves deeper into the skydiving community, gathering clues to track down Moncrief and his gang. He learns that Moncrief is planning another high-stakes heist involving a major data heist from a secure government facility. Pete and Jessie must combine their skills and resources to thwart the plot while navigating the dangers and adrenaline of high-altitude freefalls.
