Rye Mallett flies freight to remote locations where other pilots won't go. He works alone, sleeps little, and never asks questions about his cargo. When someone hires him to deliver a black box to Dr. Lambert in a fog-covered Northern Georgia town, Rye simply raises his fee and takes off. But his plane crashes on the isolated landing strip after someone sabotages it. Dr. Brynn O'Neal appears, claiming Dr. Lambert sent her to collect the package. Rye doesn't trust her story or her motives, but something deadly is happening around this cargo. Law enforcement and hired killers close in as Rye and Brynn flee together. They have 48 hours to complete the delivery before time expires. The black box holds secrets worth killing for, and everyone wants it. Rye must decide whether to trust Brynn with his life as they race against the clock with danger pursuing them at every turn.
