Après avoir été frappé par son mari violent, le policier Michael Elkhart, Kate Frazier décide de fuir à Chicago, où elle trouve un travail de secrétaire dans une entreprise. Elle se lie d'amitié avec sa collègue de travail Diane mais reste isolée, embarrassée par l’œil au beurre noir laissé par la dernière attaque de Michael. La plupart des gens qu'elle rencontre ont un caractère bas, ce qui renforce ses sentiments de solitude et de vivre en recluse. Un soir, le tueur professionnel Frank Logan, stationné sur un immeuble en face de l'immeuble où travaille la jeune femme, se prépare à abattre une personne à un autre étage des lieux. Après avoir achevé son travail, Logan enlève sa chapeau et se met sur le rebord alors qu'il se prépare apparemment à sauter. Alors qu'elle regarde la neige tomber, Kate l'aperçoit et crie pour l'empêcher de sauter, ce qui le fait sursauter et tomber en toute sécurité sur le toit.Actors

After witnessing gangster Eddie Kim brutally beat U.S. Prosecutor Daniel Hayes to death in Hawaii, Sean Jones is escorted by FBI agents Neville Flynn and John Sanders on a Boeing 747-400 to testify in a trial in Los Angeles. Despite increased security for the flight, Kim arranges for a time-release crate full of venomous snakes to be placed in the cargo hold in an attempt to bring down the plane before it reaches Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). To ensure the snakes attack the passengers without being provoked, he has one of his henchmen disguised as an airport ground employee spray the passengers' leis with a special pheromone which makes the snakes highly aggressive. The crate opens midway through the flight and the snakes make their way through the cabin. A couple having sex in the bathroom, and a man using the bathroom are the first killed. The plane's captain, Sam McKeon, investigates and fixes an electrical short, but is killed by the viper that caused it. Co-pilot Rick, unaware of the snake, believes Sam has suffered a heart attack and continues toward LAX.
