The film's plot revolves around the events of Easter Sunday 2009 when a 56-year-old pharmacist, Doug White (played by Dennis Quaid), his wife, and their two daughters were returning home to Archibald, Louisiana, after attending a funeral when their private plane, a King Air 200 faced a devastating situation when the pilot suddenly suffered a heart attack, less than 10 minutes after takeoff from Marco Island, Florida.
