On a Boeing 747 flight from London to New York, the wealthy architect Alan O’Neill travels with his wife Sheila O’Neill, and they have secretly tucked a druidic sacrificial altar into the baggage hold, a reckless act that will haunt every passenger. Aboard for the ill-fated journey are Paul Kovalik, an ex-priest, and Glenn Farlee, a man of vast means. The stage is set for a voyage that will soon descend into a nightmare.

Captain Ernie Slade tries to keep the jet on course as unseen forces take hold. The crew and passengers encounter a supernatural horror emerging from the baggage compartment—the ghosts of druids seeking vengeance for their uprooted resting place. The crisis worsens as gale-force winds push the aircraft back toward London, and the cabin grows icy as the spirits unleash terrifying visions and sudden displays of telekinesis. In a misguided attempt to appease the spirits, a doll is sacrificed, but the gesture only inflames their fury. Dr. Enkalla Dr. Enkalla is brought in to assess the phenomenon, while the ex-priest Kovalik tries to make sense of the haunting from the rear of the plane, hoping to understand what the druids want.

The truth emerges in a shuddering twist: the ghosts demand to be returned to their ancestral burial grounds, and they require a human sacrifice to complete the return. As the emergency door is blown open, Kovalik is sucked from the aircraft to his death, a sacrifice that appears to calm the spirits. With the threat neutralized, the remaining passengers cling to hope as the 747 finally descends and lands safely.
