description: Airport—from traffic control to Customs hall, from airport manager's office to the lay-over apartments in "Stewardesses' Row", the rooms are peopled with men and women whose private pressures and passions match the fury of the blizzard which sweeps the airfield... For seven suspense-filled hours, a blocked runway... suicide... pickets... an aerial stowaway... pregnancy... smuggling... mass demonstrations... and a psychotic with a home-made bomb, build to a nail-biting climax...
