Sinopsis
A woman seeks revenge on her former lover, who owns a skydiving business.
Tras una misteriosa desaparición en un salto, un grupo de paracaidistas experimenta sucesos paranormales que les obligan a luchar por sus vidas.
1972. El día de su graduación, un grupo de cinco amigos se lanza a la carretera con la intención de atravesar el desértico estado de Texas. Son “Los Groovers”, que deciden vivir su última aventura antes de enfrentarse a la dura perspectiva del matrimonio, el trabajo y la guerra del Vietnam.
Victor Cooper (Stephen Baldwin) es un policía de narcóticos que cree haber descubierto uno de los caminos por los que la droga entre en Miami. Para demostrarlo, se infiltra en un club de paracaidismo de la zona, liderados por Red Line (Tom Berenger), el mejor en su campo. La facilidad para el salto de Victor le convertirá en uno de los miembros que competirá en el campeonato nacional. (FILMAFFINITY)
Mientras viaja por Europa, la bella paracaidista estadounidense Fathom Harvill se ve envuelta en una intriga internacional, cuando el espía escocés Douglas Campbell la recluta para una misión secreta. Fathom tarda poco en darse cuenta de que no puede fiarse de nadie y menos del misterioso Peter Merriweather.
Historia de tres paracaidistas de diferentes edades, que viajan juntos con su espectáculo aéreo de caída libre, haciendo frente a los riesgos de su profesión.
Anne está a punto de cumplir los 30 años y trabaja en una guardería en el centro de Toronto. Los niños la adoran, tiene su propio apartamento y se siente libre realizando paracaidismo. La gente que la rodea se da cuenta, pero nadie se atreve a diagnosticar cuál es su problema. La tensión aumenta a medida que su comportamiento se torna más errático. Son los nervios que produce una mujer bajo la influencia de algo. Pero, ¿de qué exactamente? La sensación es desagradable a la vez que extrañamente vivificante; algo similar al vacío que se forma en nuestro estómago cuando un avión se eleva y sabes que vas a tener que saltar por él desde las alturas.
Ésta es la historia de una aventura que costó 29 millones de dólares y llevó cuatro años de preparación, que fueron registrados desde sus inicios por las cámaras de BBC, cadena que también hizo técnicamente posible, con más de 20 cámaras en posición, que el mundo viera de una forma espectacular esta hazaña y experimentara el salto a través de los ojos de Baumgartner.

Her friend Charles, the older owner of the skydiving center, tries to make her understand reason while developing a love passion for Manu, a young woman who, at 20, has to deal with her mother's cancer. But Manu and Rafaël also develop a strong passion, which comes to compromise the strong bond between the three friends. Things don't work out when Rafaël, who has been forbidden to jump, comes to miss a particularly dangerous jump prepared by Charles.
