In a time about two days from now, Nessa, traveling from LAX to JFK, finds herself diverted to Dallas. Trapped in a room with Val, a lawyer, Nessa just wants to leave on the next plane out. But this is Texas, and Nessa is pregnant and Val is on the phone with legislators who are pulling the strings. With new laws in place Nessa will not be allowed to leave the state until after she gives birth. Can Val be persuaded to go against her convictions, putting her own job and future career on the line in order to help Nessa escape? A political thriller.
