The conversion from ground cars to flying cars poses several challenges in regards to police work. Coupling that with a detective under a psychiatrist's care for depression over his wife's death, the cases veteran Detective Paul Ostrander receives aren't the most news worthy. When an entire school bus is kidnapped, Paul and his partner Ed can't even get close to the case. As all attention is focused on the school bus kidnapping, their minor string of overdoses reveals evidence of a serial killer. Running into brick wall after brick wall, secrets from Ed's past begin to emerge. Resisting at first, Paul begins to suspect his partner of the killings. When the serial killer identifies the school bus kidnapper, he orchestrates a plan to eliminate him and throw the blame on Ed. As the parallel cases overlap, Ed and Paul are forced to come to terms with Ed's past and use the flying car technology to stop the killer.
