Unfortunately, In Ho has no such luck and can only watch in horror as Korean flight 501 departs Incheon Airport, headed for Hawaii. Aboard the plane, the bioterrorist Jin Seok (Im Siwan) wastes no time in releasing a deadly virus into the air. Within hours the first of Jin Seok’s victims dies, setting off a wave of fear that soon turns to chaos as more passengers begin to fall ill.
