Haunted by a nightmare the previous night, Captain Will Wright struggles to clear his mind as he prepares for his first commercial flight of the day.After a series of delays, Onyx Flight 887 leaves Seattle on its way to Las Vegas on a regularly scheduled flight. Once airborne, a series of events unfolds, causing Captain Wright to relive the nightmare in real-time.Unable to change the course of events, the flight is destined to eventually crash, killing all on board.As the story unfolds, the aircrew is faced with extreme weather, several medical emergencies, a highjacker, and a mid-air collision. Crippled by crash damage, the Airbus A320 is locked in a right turn without any controls. Faced with certain death when the plane runs out of fuel, Captain Wright and First Officer Jerry Grant manage to level the airplane, but realize that effort will only delay the inevitable. It's just a matter of time.Circling in and out of extreme weather conditions the Airbus is subjected to stresses that threaten to tear the aircraft apart. Flight 887, violating military airspace, causes Nellis Air Force base to scramble an F-35 fighter aircraft to intercept Flight 887.The pilot of the F-35 and the Airbus pilots devise what certainly appears to be an extremely dangerous plan that has almost no chance of saving the flight. Will it succeed, or will the flight be remembered as an inevitable disaster, leaving grieving loved ones to only stare into the crater left by the crash?
