In the opening episode, the viewers meet Julie in the desert backdrop, who tries to attempt suicide through a plane crash in a similar manner in which her parents and brother died recently. She cruises at 30,000 feet to fulfill her suicide endeavor. Julie sports an eyebrow tattoo reading “pancake sirup” and a buzzcut as we first meet her. The plane gets thrown into the cockpit, and she survives the crash.
The series unfolds through flashbacks that bring about the journey to the present stage from this point on. Her phone acts as her video diary. There she lies in the broken cockpit, in the midst of the desert, and her misery once again starts to dwell upon her. Her starting season is completely opposite from her present situation when she used to spend quality time together with her parents and brother, Tom, in a mansion at the seaside.
With a crazy, fun-filled life, massive Instagram followers, and parties, her life was topsy-turvy on receiving a message from her dad just before the crash. She adopts a fatalistic mindset and hops between various planes using her family credit card. Hence, the series brings forth mid-flight experience and pushes the viewers to test one’s own boundaries.
