While
participating in the TWA 800 accident investigation, Major Christina
Johansson, an Air Force pilot and electronics expert, discovers an FBI
cover-up of an airline sabotage years in the past. A DC-10 crashed at
Cedar Rapids airport, officially due to a mechanical failure, but the
accident report was falsified. Chris shares the information with fellow
pilot, Zach Conroy, whose parents were killed in the disaster.
Armed
with hard copies of FBI computer files, Zach and Chris find themselves
in a position to expose the government cover-up. However, a high-level
National Security classification makes them hesitant. While they pry the
issue, drug syndicate boss, Nestor Avila, connected to the Colombian
Medellin cartel, and FBI assistant director, George Draney, both set out
to silence them.
In
a setting of Southern California, mainly LAX, Manhattan Beach, San Diego
and La Jolla, Zach and Chris pursue an exposure of the conspiracy while
they become the unsuspecting prey of Avila's henchman, Rudy Vasquez, a
former mercenary in the French Foreign Legion. The fast-paced events
evolve out of the pilot duo's control and reach a teeth-grinding climax
that puts their combined aviation expertise to a deadly test.
Through
a stunning political twist revolving around the loss of control of the
Panama Canal, Zach and Chris are faced with the crucial choice: expose
the truth or jeopardize U.S. national security and world peace? |
