Plot and Key Details
Jo's son's imprisonment in Bulgaria is not the end of her troubles. She is blackmailed by a ruthless criminal gang that holds inside knowledge about Sonny's case. To protect her son and ensure his survival, Jo is coerced into using her job as a flight attendant to smuggle drugs across international borders. As she becomes entangled in a murky underworld of corrupt cops, hired killers, and dangerous criminals, Jo must carry out their orders with seemingly no escape.
