Donna (Paltrow) is a young woman from meager beginnings who has high hopes for the future. She dreams of becoming a first class international flight attendant and is willing to do whatever it takes to ensure that her dreams come true. The road to success, though, is rarely a smooth flight, and as she begins her trip, she encounters more turbulence than she ever bargained for. But the real question is whether her bumpy start will cause her to leave her dreams behind or if it will take her on a journey of a lifetime.
