When turbulence hits the plane, chaos ensues, leading to a series of mishaps that result in the prisoners escaping their restraints.

Communication with ground control becomes crucial, and Teri relies on intermittent contact for guidance as she confronts escalating challenges. Through her resourcefulness, bravery, and quick thinking, she faces a battle to regain control of the aircraft and lead it to safety. The situation grows increasingly dire as the plane continues its turbulent journey, leaving the fate of everyone in Teri's hands.
