Roman is a man who lost his wife and child in a plane crash. The tragedy happened while air traffic controller Jake Bonanos was on duty. Roman blames the air traffic controller and cannot let it go. He is demanding answers in person.

The film is based on the real-life Überlingen mid-air collision, and the subsequent murder of Swiss air traffic controller Peter Nielsen at Skyguide by Russian architect Vitaly Kaloyev, who held Nielsen responsible for the deaths of his wife and two children in the disaster.

On November 4, 2015, Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films (EFOF) came on board to finance and produce the film along with Protozoa, which Elliott Lester would direct. Lionsgate Premiere would release the film domestically, which would be produced by Protozoa's Aronofsky, Scott Franklin and Eric Watson, and EFOF's Randall Emmett and George Furla, along with Peter Dealbert. In November 2015, Highland Film Group sold the film to different international distributors at the American Film Market. On December 24, 2015, Mariana Klaveno was cast in the film to play Eve Sanders, an airline representative who breaks the news to Viktor (played by Schwarzenegger) of his tragic loss.
