"A year ago Joe Carpenter heard the terrible news that his wife and two daughters had died in a catastrophic plane crash. All news reports confirmed no survivors. So, naturally it blew Joe's mind when he met Rose, who claimed to have been on the same flight. Her mysterious secret of survival, spurned him to eagerly search for the truth of that fatal flight. Now, someone is trying to kill Joe and Rose for exposing the truth. Flight investigators and the crash victim's survivors began to die. Someone controlled their minds, causing each to inflict horrible wounds to themselves, otherwise known as death by remote. The truth of Rose's miraculous survival and this astonishing mind control are secrets Joe and Rose risk their lives for. The question is, how are they going to dodge this mind manipulating murderer and prevent more deaths?"
