Psychotherapist Claire Summers (Anne Hathaway) is tasked with counseling five survivors from a recent plane crash, including passengers Dean (Ryan Robbins), Norman (Don Thompson), Shannon (Clea DuVall), Eric (Patrick Wilson), and flight attendant Janice (Chelah Horsdal). Among them, Eric exhibits an unusual sense of euphoria following the tragedy and insists on meeting Claire privately instead of attending group sessions. During her discussions with Mr. Arkin (David Morse), an airline official, Claire learns about the differing memories the survivors have of the crash. Dean insists there was an explosion prior to their descent, contradicting the others who have a different recollection. Arkin attributes the incident to pilot error, leading Claire to question the truth behind the crash.
