Plot

Like the first movie, that played on the notion of high school kids as survivors. The sequel plays with the notion of 8 strangers from different walks of life (A schoolteacher, drug addict, business woman) as the new group of survivors on Death's List. It has been one year since the tragic explosion of Flight 180. While going on vacation in Florida, Kimberly Corman, (played by A.J. Cook) traveling with her friend Shaina (Sarah Carter) and two other male friends, Dano Royale (Alex Rae) and Frankie Arnold (Shaun Sipos), has a terrifying vision of a horrific car pile-up. She causes outrage when she blocks the on ramp to the highway, but the signs prove true. The survivors, Eugene (T.C. Carson), Rory (Jonathon Cherry), Katherine (Keegan Connor Tracy), Nora (Lynda Boyd) and her son Tim (James Kirk) are all held up at the police station and Kim begins to tell everyone about her strange premonition. They all leave, but one of the survivors dies mysteriously, and Kim begins to suspect that her premonition is really something more. In a mental institution, she meets Clear Rivers (Ali Larter), the sole survivor of Flight 180, who has had similar experience with premonition. She reluctantly accepts Kim's offer to help her spot the signs to keep her and the others alive, but the deaths have already begun. A police officer who initially brought everybody in for questioning, Thomas Burke (Michael Landes), also offers his assistance in keeping everyone alive, but it becomes a race against time as everyone has scattered after dismissing the tales. The enigmatic mortician William Bludworth (Tony Todd) makes another appearance and provides more insight into the workings of Death involving the forces of balance.
