Clark has planned a special surprise for Lois - one that involves an engagement ring and a proposal. However, things quickly go awry as the couple boards their flight, which is promptly taken over by a group of terrorists.
The terrorists are seeking revenge against Lois, who had published an article earlier exposing their illegal activities. The pilot is knocked out and the plane starts to lose altitude, leaving Clark and Lois to team up with the other passengers to try to regain control of the plane before it crashes. Clark must use his superpowers in secret to help them, without revealing his true identity.

Eventually, Clark discovers Chloe's location and races to save her, though he must first deal with the terrorists on the plane.
As the situation on the plane continues to escalate, Clark and Lois must rely on their wits and teamwork to overcome the terrorists and save the innocent civilians on board. In the end, Clark must make a difficult decision that will change his relationship with Lois forever.
