Sudeni indicates an action or event that has been completed by the time some other action or event occurs.

Examples:
空港に着いた時、飛行機はすでに出ていた。
Kūkō ni tsuita toki, hikōki wa sudeni dete ita.
When I arrived at the airport, the plane had already taken off．

ホテルに電話したら、彼はすでにチェックアウトしていた。
Hoteru ni denwa shitara, kare wa sudeni chekkuauto shite ita.
When I called him at the hotel, he had already checked out.

Hope this helps!
