On the 21st December 1988, a bomb exploded aboard Pan Am 103 over the quiet Scottish town of Lockerbie. Annie Lareau was meant to be on the flight with 35 of her Syracuse University classmates, heading home for Christmas. She was left behind. The lives of a tight-knit group of friends intertwine with the voices of Lockerbie locals in this electric ensemble piece – set against the ticking clock of prophetic nightmares and a terrorist plot. Through youthful buoyancy, debilitating grief, international media scrutiny and self-punishment, Annie's journey is a poignant tribute to treasuring relationships in an unpredictable world.
