    3. A woman in the very last row collapses.
    4. The plane tilts forward and begins to nosedive.
    When another passenger Orion James wakes, it triggers an alarming change in the events Evelyn has come to count on. They soon discover there’s more to the loop than they initially realized and must work together to find the hidden clues, piece together the moving puzzle, and save everyone onboard -before it’s too late.
