Ethan Cole, a top-tier aviation legend in his previous life, dies as a national aviation legend. He is reborn as an 8-year-old boy on the same flight where he once flew with his father. Only this time, he knows the truth: Flight 8236 is going to crash, and everyone on board will die. At 9,000 meters above sea level, fire begins to burn along the wings. The fuselage cracks open into freezing air. As panic spreads across the cabin, Ethan realizes he is the only one who understands what is coming. Trapped in a child’s body, he must stop the disaster and save his father—the man he loves most—before it is too late.
