The triller, in our opinion, promises a hectic and exciting murder mystery. After meeting a man on a plane, flight attendant Cassie Bowden has a romantic fling only to end up waking up next to the man, who's dead. She remembers nothing from the night, all she can process are "flickers" of thoughts. Now, the FBI is after her, and she's wondering if she did it?
