Plot summary
After her grandmother's funeral, Lisa Reisert takes a red-eye flight from Dallas back to Miami, where she manages the Lux Atlantic Hotel. At the airport bar she chats with a friendly young man, Jackson Rippner, and is surprised to find him in the seat beside her on the plane. Once they are in the air, his manner changes: he tells her he works for a domestic terrorist group that intends to assassinate Charles Keefe, the Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security, who is staying at her hotel with his family. Jackson wants Lisa to telephone the hotel and move the Keefe family into a particular suite, and he says her father Joe will be killed if she refuses.
