The film’s plot revolves around a plane that has been hijacked and is going to crash, and in the process, take out many more lives than those onboard. The main character, Nadja (Peri Baumeister), learns that she must do whatever she must to save her son’s life.
The character of Nadji is a single mother who not only was widowed in a violent incident but found she was left with the vampire blood curse. In an attempt to rid herself of her vampirism, Nadji takes a transatlantic flight with her son but soon finds that she has ended up in deeper trouble than before.
Other members of the cast include Roland Moller (Karl), Kai Ivo Baulitz (Bastian Buchner), Chidi Ajufo (Curtiz), and Graham MacTavish (Col. Alan Drummond).
