PlotA high school student experiences a horrifying vision of him and his friends dying in a catastrophic plane explosion just before embarking on a trip to Paris. Panicked by the vividness of his premonition, he insists that everyone get off the plane. A few of his classmates and a teacher, caught up in the commotion, are forced to disembark. Moments later, the vision becomes a gruesome reality as the plane explodes shortly after takeoff, killing everyone on board. Though initially relieved, the survivors are unaware of the dark turn of events that awaits them as they have inadvertently cheated death.
Survivors of the doomed flight find themselves plagued by strange occurrences and begin dying in bizarre accidents. As the body count rises, the remaining survivors grapple with the idea of fate and the invisible forces at play in their lives. Desperate to escape death's persistent grip, they try to decipher the pattern of who is next, based on the order they would have died in the explosion. Facing skepticism from the authorities and their peers, the central characters must rely on each other as they race against time to outsmart and outrun the ominous, unseen force that seeks to restore death’s disrupted plan.
