As documentation says the syntax for plane is:

plane
    {
        <Normal>, Distance
        [OBJECT_MODIFIERS...]
    }

You said you have normal and distance, so just put it inside syntax.
To make it red and transparent add pigment as object modifier.

  plane{ MyNormal , MyDistance pigment{ red 1 transmit MyTransmitFactor } }

Consider also camera and light placement. It is usually necessary to see
objects :-)
