Peter Highman is a high strung architect on his way home from Atlanta to Los Angeles to be present at the birth of his first child with his wife, Sarah . In the opening scene he recalls a dream about being in a forest with his wife, who is in labor. He's unable to reach her... and help deliver the child, but a grizzly bear ends up helping by chewing through the umbilical cord. Once on the plane, Peter learns that Ethan Tremblay , who had just prior to boarding at the airport, been a passenger in a vehicle that knocked the door off the limo Peter had been in, is sitting behind him in first class. After inadvertently using the words "terrorist" and "bomb", Ethan gets Peter shot by a Federal Air Marshal with a rubber bullet. Both Peter and Ethan are forced off the plane before take-off.
