Alex has always been afraid to fly--but one morning, while he white-knuckles his way across country to a wedding he doesn't want to attend, something changes, problems collide, and by the time he gets off the plane, and a really, really bad day is over, the last thing he wants to do is stay on the ground. Suddenly, Alex is back at the airport, buying a ticket for the first flight he can get on, then another, and then another, as he looks to reclaim his life, all without touching the ground. Shot entirely on real commercial flights, in airports and airport hotels, Fantastic Highway is a dramatic comedy about a certain kind of desperation, the search for adventure, and the fear of standing still.
