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 China's takeover 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?
