    Brief synopsis

    Professor Singh embarks on a journey to bring a mysterious creature from a distant land to Germany. However, when unexpected turbulence strikes the airplane, the beast awakens and starts attacking passengers. Stewardess Nathalie and teacher Ben team up to regain control amidst the chaos. But as they also uncover a ruthless murderer among the passengers, things quickly spiral out of control.
