Flight of Atonement

When a disgraced former mining executive boards a transpacific flight from the fictional city of Northport to Singapore, he unknowingly carries a weaponized pathogen released by a radical environmental cell seeking vengeance for a catastrophic land rights massacre. As passengers and crew begin to fall ill at 35,000 feet, the cockpit becomes a sealed courtroom where Captain Mira Thorne must negotiate with a hijacker who demands a global broadcast confession—forcing everyone trapped on board to reckon with the buried sins of urbanization, stolen indigenous territories, and the ancient moral codes that modernization tried to pave over.
