SYNOPSIS
- Passengers on a short, domestic flight in Australia from Hobart to Sydney expect an uneventful 90 minute flight. Unfortunately, they get more than they bargained for.
- Cherry, aka “The Death Lady”, is also a passenger on the flight. She makes her way down the aisle telling passengers the age they will die & their manner of death. Some folks learn they will live a long life, but for 6 people, their predictions are shockingly soon.
- We follow several folks in their life after the flight & how the predictions impact their lives, and we also learn about Cherry’s life story.
