Disclosure: certain links are commissioned.

A surgeon transporting a kidney for a secret transplant battles a midair emergency and a vengeful passenger.

Elite surgeon Shaun boards a commercial flight carrying a donor kidney destined for a covert transplant to save dying billionaire Derek Wolf. Before departure, Kim lingers in the lavatory, delaying the aircraft; her daughter Jessica, engaged to Derek's grandson Erik, publicly shames Shaun when he presses for speed. Once airborne, Kim suffers a heart attack, and Shaun resuscitates her, fracturing ribs in the process. Jessica demands a degrading apology and, when refused, threatens to destroy the organ. Shaun is forced to disclose Derek's identity, but Jessica disbelieves him until she smashes the case and reads the name: Derek Wolf, her fiancé's grandfather.
