In others’ eyes, it is seemingly lonely for him to spend most of time on the plane, but he enjoys it. The company’s new staff called Natalie who just graduated invented an online video system, which makes the job of redundancy easier and may change Ryan’s customary life. At the same time, the company assign the task to him to familiarize her with the working environment. There is another clue in the movie. He met his romantic lover Alex at the airport and then started their romantic relationship.

It's a pity that Alex is a woman who already has a family. When Ryan ran to her house in the middle of a speech, everything came to the surface. Ryan is just an extramarital lover to Alex. When Ryan really got the platinum card, he is the seventh person in the United States to achieve this goal, and the youngest person so far, but he is not excited at all. At this time, he feels that all this is meaningless to him. He began to understand the meaning of life.
