Plot

Shauna and Jackie are best friends. And even though they differ in their attitude to life, they are brought together by the game in the school soccer team “Yellowjackets”, which includes other girls. Devout Allie, the lover of the dubious high Natalie, the newcomer Misty, the self-confident Taissa, the friendly Van, as well as their coach Ben Scott – all of them are going to go on an exciting journey to another city for the tournament.

Before the trip, a conflict arose between Shauna and Taissa. The new set included a first-year girl who was more interested in the prom than the upcoming match. Wanting to win at any cost, Taissa seriously wounded the girl, forcing her to no longer appear on the field. Shauna was angry and got into a fight with Taissa. Jackie, being the captain, was able to influence their relationship.

The father of one of the soccer players orders a private jet so that the teenagers and their escorts fly in comfort. At some point, they start dispensing drinks and many lose consciousness. Shauna woke up shortly before hitting the ground and tried with all her might to wake up Jackie sleeping next to her. The plane crashed, while still giving some passengers the opportunity to get out of it alive.
