It was time for the annual national sales meeting for Daniela Cosmetics. Long time district manager for the Carolinas and Tennessee, Wesley Lane prepared to make the flight up to Newark. He had a bad feeling that things were not going to go well. There had been a dramatic drop in sales over the last year. He wondered what effect it would have on him and his staff. Flying out of Asheville, he makes his connection to Newark in Charlotte. Onboard he has a negative encounter with a beautiful but haughty Native American woman. Once in Newark he clashes with her at the hotel he is staying at. To make matters worse, when he attends the Daniela sales meeting he meets her again. Emma White Could was introduced as the new district manager, taking his place. The reasoning by the corporation was that they wanted to bring in fresh talent and new ideas to kick start the company on the path to success again. Wesley is demoted to salesman and placed under her management. Dejected and disappointed, the next day Wesley boards the plane for the trip back to Tennessee. To his dismay, Emma ends up in the seat next to him. Agreeing on a cool but workable truce, the two settle in for the flight back home. The jet develops mechanical problems and the passengers are informed to prepare for a crash landing. Facing possible death, Wesley and Emma turned to each other for support and comfort. The outcome places the two into an intertwined path that shapes their lives forever.
