"Police negotiator Daniel Andrik is drawn into the crisis while his pregnant partner is trapped inside," the synopsis adds. "As doctors fight to save a powerful minister and a summit of European leaders unfolds nearby, Daniel begins to uncover signs that the official investigation into the crash may have been covered up.
"With political pressure mounting and lives at risk, the siege becomes a desperate race to expose the truth before more people die."
