"You Were Meant for Me" —Gene Kelly

Daniel is a Native American from Albuquerque, New Mexico who wears many hats—Air Marshal, professor, DEA consultant. Julie is a retired teacher from Seattle, Washington trying to find a future without her husband. After a chance encounter on an airplane, Daniel makes sure they meet again, and fate intervenes ensuring they survive amid life-threatening chaos.


Daniel deals with his PTSD and Julie with her loneliness. They form a close bond to both his community on a New Mexico reservation and her family in Washington. Julie believes that fate has saved Daniel for a special purpose, and she aids in his endeavor to help his people find their way in the world, changing both their lives and the lives around them.


In The Man on the Plane, fate brings two people and two disparate cultures together—to save both of their lives.
