When one of Boeings jetliners needs a repair, a team of specialists gets sent to fix it. Theyre Boeings crack AOG (Aircraft on the Ground) team and this time their destination is Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, where Riley joins them to fix a Boeing 767 that suffered a multi-million dollar fender-bender in the airports parking lot, which damaged the jets pressure dome a piece of technology that keeps passengers alive up to 43,000 feet. To make the fix means taking the back of the plane apart, one bolt at a time, and Rileys there for every step of this delicate and dangerous transplant operation.
