WHILE all of his school pals are getting excited about their trip to Paris, self-confessed paranoid Alex Browning is seeing omens of doom.

Alex has a premonition that the plane explodes, killing everyone on board. Panicking to get off Alex causes a fight that leads to him and six others being kicked off the 747. Minutes later it turns into a fireball leaving nothing but patches of burning fuel, just as Alex predicted.

But death, it would seem, does not like to see anybody side-stepping predetermined fate. In a series of horrible and excruciatingly complex methods, death begins to catch up with them, picking them off one by one, leaving the youngsters desperately trying to figure out a way to literally cheat death.
