What happens when a pilot entrusted with the lives of hundreds of passengers loses his mind and decides that "life is not worth it" and chooses to end his life, taking all the passengers and crew with him? The 300 passengers boarding the flight SL502 from Dubai to New York believe like the rest of us, that flying is the safest mode of travel. They haven't the faintest clue that the pilot in the drivers seat has decided to end his life mid-air by committing suicide. Well not every passenger is unaware of impending danger. There is in the flight an astrologer humouring his fellow passengers with some predictions when he realizes that there is something deadly in common with all these predictions.
Come aboard a suspense filled drama of life and death woven by master storyteller Priya Kumar as she takes you on a ride that you will never forget.
The story begins with Sarah, who was about to miss her flight since she got engrossed in shopping. She couldn’t afford to miss this flight because she doubted her boyfriend Mike and wanted to know for sure whether he was cheating on her or not. She somehow manages to get onto the flight and is seated on 26D.
Jim was happy to be seated next to his new found crush, Sarah. Muttuswamy, on the other hand, seemed extremely nervous for some reason. He had sensed that something very wrong was about to happen.
Paul was seated in the first class cabin. The flight attendant Glenda’s interest in Paul kept him indulged. But he decided to take a walk across the aircraft and encountered the passengers on row 26.
The fate of all the passengers in flight SL502 changes when Captain Robert decides to kill himself, mid air at thirty-five thousand feet above sea level. He was in great turmoil and couldn't decide whether he should die alone at home or along with the 300 passengers.

Characters:
⦿ Sarah was a writer. She had already written a book but couldn’t finish it because of lack of motivation. Sarah had been in a relationship with Mike for over a year. But since their relationship was not based on trust, it gave her nothing but pain and restlessness.
⦾ Muttuswamy was an Indian clairvoyant, an astrologer. He was an evolved soul who was not attached to a materialistic life, or even his own body. He was detached from the urge to indulge in the illusion of mortality.
⦿ Jim was a young teenager and a technology freak. He was seventeen, tall and lean. He was returning from his trip to Dubai because of soccer practice.
⦾ Paul was a billionaire and one of the most eligible bachelors in New York. But he did not care about his ‘success’ anymore.
⦿ Glenda and Cathy were the flight attendants of the first class cabin.
⦾ Captain Robert was in his late forties and suicidal. He had quit the U.S Air Force and stepped down from his position of Major because he didn’t want to cause bloodshed anymore. He also lost his family in a car accident.
⦿ Captain Tom was a charming young man. When the captains couldn’t report for duty, he was more than happy to fill in. He felt elated when he was flying.
⦾ Captain Joe was seated in the flight crew resting cabin and had no real interest or passion for his work.

"Letting go is sometimes a better way, but doesn't have to be a cruel way. Let go, not because you hate the person or because it hurts. Let go because you want to create a better future."

"The Maya cannot destroy you, but its repeated battering can scatter your energy, adulterate your knowingness, diffuse your power, and radically reduce your spiritual abilities. The end result is a robotic, obedient and compliant spirit who identifies himself with the body. You, me and others alike."
