But two hours before landing in New York, everything changes. A group of terrorists seizes control of the plane, determined to crash it into Harvard University.

At the heart of the narrative is David, a divorced father of three and a typical family man.

Some rise to the occasion, while others falter. Packed with twists, emotional moments, and relentless action, this gripping tale explores the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable terror.
