Emma is a senior flight attendant, and for four years she has been in a secret relationship with the captain, Ryan. Her skill has kept every one of his flights running smoothly, and she is ready to use the 21 percent stake her mother left her to help him take over Summit Airline at a shareholder vote in three days. Then severe turbulence rocks their maiden voyage. Emma steps forward to protect every passenger, but Ryan hands the credit to a new recruit, Bianca, and kisses her in public.
Emma ends things with him for good. Later, during a bad storm, she spends one night with a stranger, a captain she meets at an airport hotel, and only the next morning does she learn the truth about him. The shock changes everything she thought she knew about her career and her heart.
