A flight attendant wakes up in an unfamiliar hotel room, in bed with a dead man, and has no recollection of the previous night. Cassandra Bowden, accustomed to hungover mornings and blackouts from her binge drinking, struggles to piece together what happened. As she counts down the minutes to her crew shuttle, she carefully exits the bed, only to confront the grim reality of the situation: a lifeless body, dark hair, and a pool of blood on the sheets. Fearing the repercussions of calling the police as a lone woman in a foreign country, she begins to fabricate a story. Cassie lies to her fellow flight attendants and pilots during their ride to the airport, continues the deception while working in first class on the flight to Paris, and even misleads FBI agents who meet her upon arrival in New York. As the truth remains elusive and the stakes rise, she grapples with the possibility of having killed the man—or the identity of the real murderer. Set against the backdrop of life at 40,000 feet, this gripping narrative explores themes of memory, the intoxicating allure of alcohol, the harsh realities of addiction, and the chilling consequences of murder far from home.
