A commercial aircraft flying from New York to Tokyo crashes mysteriously. Genba Shido, captain of CTU Section 1 Team A, believes it must be connected to the plot to assassinate Urara Asakura, a candidate who has the chance of being Japan’s first ever female prime minister. He orders Chief Code Breaker Takumi Nanjyo to look up the background of everyone aboard the airplane but Nanjyo is suspicious about Genba and reluctant to follow orders. Meanwhile, a mysterious woman, Nanami Hikawa, has bombed the plane and parachuted safely to the ground to meet up with someone. They talk about the ID card that she stole from Tsunehiko Minagawa, a photographer, on the aircraft on his way to a photo shoot with Urara. Concurrently, CTU Tokyo District Manager Heisuke Satonaka meets up with CTU Section 3 agent Toru Mikami, who is handling top secret investigations. Mikami hands him a key card with the owner ID deleted. Much to Satonaka’s shock, Mikami says a significant amount of data concerning Urara had been recorded on it by an unidentified mole but just then, somebody starts shooting at Satonaka and Mikami. Genba rushes to the site upon receiving a call from Satonaka but the situation is desperate. Around the same time, Urara disappears from her hotel. With his own daughter still missing, Genba is at the mercy of some unknown force both at work and home. Before long, unbelievable information corners him even further.
