Before the plane takes off to France, Alex (Sawa) forsees the plane exploding. He panics and eventually gets his friends (Scott, Donella), teacher (Cloke) and a number of others off the plane before it takes flight. On the ground the group watch in horror as the plane bursts into flames.

After the crash Alex is plagued by guilt and is suspected by the FBI, who dog his every movement. If that wasn't enough, one by one, the group members are being taken by the grim reaper.
