Renowned cardiac surgeon Fiona boards a critical commercial flight carrying a viable donor heart destined for a child in Washington. Before takeoff, entitled billionaire Ryan demands her seat, backed by sycophantic flight attendants who disregard her emergency credentials. Stripped of her boarding rights and blacklisted by the airline, Fiona refuses to surrender, loading the insulated container into a rental vehicle for a grueling cross-country drive through severe weather.

In a display of unchecked arrogance, he hurls her medical crate into deep water. Fiona faces the agonizing reality of human hubris as the clock ticks away on an innocent life.
