Flight 171

A high school senior’s class skiing trip turns deadly in this otherworldly thriller by Parker (Smash & Grab). Devon Marsh is trying to move on after her twin sister Emily is killed in a hit-and-run. While she’s certain their classmate Jack is to blame for Emily’s death, the police rule him out as a suspect. Five months later, boarding a plane to Colorado for her senior class skiing trip, her friends encourage her to avoid Jack. But the vendetta becomes the least of her worries when, during the flight, elderly passenger Dorothy murders a flight attendant with knitting needles. “An immortal being without an immortal body” claims to have possessed Dorothy, and says they need a new host. Facing threat of death, the high schoolers must choose the new vessel among themselves before the flight ends; as their darkest secrets come to light, the teens struggle over turning against each other versus fighting for group survival. Parker’s intense adventure, a treat for horror fans, is chock-full of cinematic action and paranormal elements, combining in a hair-raising flight from hell. Most characters read as white. Ages 12–up. Agent: Lucienne Diver, Knight Agency. (Oct.)
