A plane crash in the jungle of eastern Myanmar unites a father who never knew he had a daughter, and a daughter who never knew who her father was.
After trekking the Tibetan border with Nepal, Reed Dempsey hops a plane bound for Delhi and a connecting flight to Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Three lifelong girlfriends on college break fly from Goa to Delhi. Catching a connecting flight to Chiang Mai, they sit next to Reed in an exit row. Flying through monsoon conditions, the plane loses power and crashes in the northeastern mountains of the Golden Triangle. Only seven survive.
One of the college girls sustains serious internal bleeding. The survivors build a stretcher for the young woman and head down the mountain for help.
The local military is pillaging the countryside and executing villagers. Soldiers open fire on the plane survivors, killing all those heading down the mountain except for two of the girlfriends. Samantha videoed the murders and also finds a mass grave near a village. She and Rebecca run for their lives back up the mountain toward the crash site, where they meet Reed walking down. Knocked unconscious in the crash, he was buried under debris.
Can these three survive the jungle and find safety in far-off Thailand?
