The survivors start dying one by one in bizarre accidents, perplexing the authorities. Alex, with Clear's help, discovers a pattern in these unfortunate occurrences-- death is taking them in the order they would have died aboard the plane, probably to balance death's design, which Alex interrupted.

Alex's Interventions
Horrified, Alex tries to intervene in the predetermined sequence to conserve the lives of the staying survivors. They experience strange occurrences like a premonition shadows (recommending their impending death), which encouraged Alex and Clear to stay alert. In spite of their best efforts, Terry, Valerie, and Billy meet their morbid fates.

The Climax
Carter, the next on death's list, loses control of his car on railway tracks with Alex and Clear inside. The cars and truck stops on a crossing point, with Carter trapped inside as a train methods. Alex saves Carter by unassing his seat belt just in time, thereby altering death's strategy once again. When a piece of shrapnel from the car blows up and misses out on Alex, they think they have actually tricked death once again.

The Twist
In the end, the movie takes a dive to 6 months later on when Alex, Clear, and Carter are in Paris, commemorating their triumph over death. However, as they toast, Alex recognizes that he never ever was next on death's list and saves himself from a falling indication. Carter, who is next to die, presses Alex far from the crashing indication, leaving their fates unsolved as the film ends, hinting at a continuous cycle of life and death.
