The team includes Kendra Malley, a former British Airways investigator, who immediately suspects foul play and suggests the possibility of a bomb on board.

Meanwhile, Kendra's former mentor, Howard Lawson, arrives to assist with the investigation. He's an experienced investigator and his presence adds a layer of complexity to the investigation because Kendra and Howard have a complicated history that only adds to the tension and uncertainty of the situation.

The mystery unravels as the investigators discover a crucial piece of evidence that doesn't add up with the crash theory.

The investigators, in turn, begin to suspect that someone on board the flight could have intentionally caused the crash. Now, they must dive deeper into each passenger's background and relationships to uncover what could have led to such a tragic act.

As they comb through the wreckage, the team discovers traces of a substance that could potentially serve as an explosive component.

Kendra and Howard try to unravel the tangled web of Tennant's financial dealings and personal connections, all while trying to maintain their professional demeanor and keep the investigation on track.

As the team continues the investigation, a survivor from the crash emerges, a teenage boy who claims to have critical information about the crash. When Kendra and Howard attempt to extract the boy's story, they discover that he may hold the key to finally determining the true cause of the crash. However, the boy is hesitant to cooperate with the investigators, escalating tensions and questions around his potential involvement in the crash.
