Plot 

The show is well executed and the actors bring a new layer to the character. The events of the show starts after Flight 716 vanishes in the Atlantic Ocean. Panjabi plays the lead who must investigate the highly suspect disappearance.

All of the reasons, including terrorism and pilot suicide are taken into account but what she discovers is far from what the audience expects. While the tragedy is still fresh ion their memories, she must work hard to prevent it from happening again. 

Christopher Plummer’s acting as her former boss is excellent and keeps on pushing the audience to search for an answer of their own.
