manning crying at a table nearby
courtney decides to go check on her and
learn sofia is under a lot of stress and
pressure from her mom and how difficult
medical school is they leave the library
together and courtney invites her to
share a little side project she's
working on to which sophia answers with
a maybe the next day courtney sophia
marlow and rey and their friend jamie
are all in class getting scolded by
their teacher for not answering quickly
and well enough afterward sophia works
at a doctor's event with jaime who
doesn't need it because he's trust
funded but goes anyways to chase after a
caterer sophia sends a message to her
mother to show her where she is and
admits her mother has moved in with her
just to keep tabs on her daughter after
doing more rounds in the hospital
courtney invites jaime to have fun with
her later at the hospital's basement
which jaime misunderstands as innuendo
when he accepts she asks him to take the
service elevator because there are no
cameras there later at night both sophia
and jaime joined courtney at the
hospital's basement as she requested
there's a whole functional clinic there
in case of emergencies courtney explains
to them what her project is about she's
been searching for the region of the
brain that is responsible for near-death
experiences so she wants to map the
process the same way they map a seizure
in order to do that she wants her
friends to stop her heart while she's in
the image scanner then bring her back
after one minute sophia doesn't want
anything to do with it but jaime accepts
he stops courtney's heart with a
combination of drugs in the
defibrillator effectively killing her
while sophie and jaime keep an eye on
the scanner and make sure it's recording
courtney has an out-of-body experience
she sees everyone inside the hospital
and then the roof before going around
the whole city when the minute passes
sophia and jaime start the resuscitating
process but they aren't able to bring
her back sophia pages rey asking for
help and he rushes out of his office
when he sees the message so marlo sees
him leave courtney continues her journey
now she sees the room she is in explode
before appearing at a bridge filled with
glowing lights this vision ends however
when her friends finally managed to
bring her back with the help of rey's
smart guidance as sophia calls courtney
crazy marlo arrives and demands to know
what's going on moments later the five
of them go to courtney's place where she
tells them what the experience was like
she calls it pure energy together they
watch the scanner recordings and notice
bolts of lightning appearing on
different areas of the brain ray decides
to leave because he thinks this idea was
crazy and courtney spends 10 minutes on
the balcony just watching the city when
marlow checks on her courtney says she
wants to bake the next morning all the
bread courtney's baked is brought to
class marlo says she made six loaves
when she remembered her grandmother's
recipe she also says courtney ran 12
miles when their teacher starts going
through the cases courtney has the right
answers for all of them as soon as
sophia finishes describing them she even
uses rare knowledge she read in a book a
couple years ago in the evening when the
five of them go to the bar courtney
plays a piano after 12 years of not
touching one her friends are impressed
by the way she can access everything
she's ever learned calling it rewiring
of the brain ray still thinks these
experiments are a bad idea but jamie is
excited and decided to go next later at
her apartment courtney thinks she hears
a noise in the shower so she moves the
curtains to check there's nothing there
so she leaves the bathroom after making
sure the curtains are left open but
returns when she hears the noise again
she finds one of the curtains as fallen
in the tub which is now full of water
and she's startled by a face suddenly
appearing in it screaming she falls
through the floor only to discover that
she imagined the whole thing when she
stands up again and sees the curtain and
bathtub are in the same condition she
left them in the group including a still
skeptical ray goes ahead and helps jaime
flatline next his vision puts him on a
bike on the highway the ride is exciting
and enjoyable especially when a blonde
woman named alicia appears behind him on
the bike but eventually they make it to
a dark neighborhood where alicia
disappears as she whispers his name and
jaime is brought back to life by his
friends after confirming he's fine the
group goes to courtney's place to drink
and party even accepting to break one of
the apartment's walls when courtney
offers the idea she and jaime seem to be
on the same wavelength they share a kiss
and have a snow fight in their underwear
when it starts to hail raystow isn't
interested in flatlining but marla
decides she'll be going next while
talking about their experiences courtney
asked jaime if he saw anything
disturbing to which he answers no the
next day at the hospital jaime makes a
series of decisions that saves patients
lives marlow points out the difference
between him and courtney while she
focused on the past bringing back old
information jaime is focused on the
present using his intuition and marlo
can't see what those two things have in
common after everyone goes back to work
jaime sees alicia standing in the middle
of the street but she's gone after he's
distracted by a nurse who jaime thought
had asked about an abortion later that
night sophia tries to leave her
apartment but her mother doesn't let her
making her stay and study with her the
group goes on without her and this time
it's marla who flatlines she even asks
to stay out for three minutes instead of
one like the others her visions take her
through all of her life's achievements
before showing her the word murderer and
revisiting the memory of a patient
called cyrus whom she could have saved
his body appears in front of her at the
bottom of a creepy pool but before she
can come any closer to it she's brought
back to life the group takes marlo to
the roof so she can grab some air and
they're surprised to see sophia suddenly
showing up demanding to go next rey
disapproves but he's told to shut up by
the others because he's already as deep
in this as they are courtney and marlo
except to help sophia but she can't stay
too long because the cleaning crew will
be arriving soon sophia flatlines and
her vision show her teenage days her
mother was constantly pressuring her to
be a good student causing sophia to get
jealous of her classmate arena when she
was doing better than her at school she
ruined irina's life by hacking her phone
and sending out her intimate photographs
sophia's experience is suddenly cut
short however when the cleaning crew
arrives at the building and her friends
are forced to bring her back jaime goes
out and pulls a fire alarm to distract
the employees while the group escapes in
a car almost getting caught by the
security guards their worries quickly
disappear as marlow drives out of there
at a very high speed and they decide to
join a party where they have fun dancing
and drinking courtney leaves the dance
floor when she thinks she sees tessa in
a crowd and follows the girl to the
parking lot where she starts having an
hallucination the entire place suddenly
becomes empty except for her old
destroyed car in front of her when she
comes closer to look inside she finds
tessa's body floating in the water her
hand suddenly comes up and startles
courtney bringing her back to reality
upset she decides to leave the party
meanwhile sophia is euphoric thanks to
her flatlining experience so she takes
jaime back to her apartment and makes
love to him after jaime leaves the
apartment sophia's mom tries to scold
her for bringing a man over to her place
but sophia finally stands up to her and
tells her she's moving out marlo and rey
also leave the party together when they
make it to marlo's house she convinces
him to come inside by saying she has
something important to tell him they
share a drink while marlo confesses
cyrus's death was her fault because she
made a mistake while choosing his
treatment she also admits being scared
because she saw him during her
flatlining ray tells her she's a good
person and that everything is going to
be fine then he kisses her and they make
love a couple of hours later courtney
goes to the bridge where she lost her
sister and remembers the accident
desperately crying with guilt jaime
returns to his boathouse and has a
vision as well first he thinks he's
seeing alicia crying on his bed then he
hears a baby crying under his furniture
he finds a baby blanket as alicia
approaches him from behind but she
disappears when his phone rings it's
courtney who is calling to tell him
about her visions jaime tells her to
stay home so he can go check on her
courtney enters her apartment and hears
music coming from the radio after
turning it off she records a video on
her phone apologizing and admitting the
real reason behind her experiments was
to see her sister again not scientific
discovery a light is suddenly on in her
room and the radio starts playing again
courtney goes to investigate and finds
tessa riding at a desk looking dreadful
the ghost starts chasing courtney around
the apartment and also appears outside
when courtney climbs out of the window
and onto the fire escape when she tries
to re-enter the building through a
different window tessa pushes her over
the railing killing her her friends are
told the news the next day by their
teacher marla thinks that they need to
talk about the visions they're having
but jaime points out the priority is to
destroy all evidence of their
experiments or they'll be found when the
school investigates courtney's death
jaime says will break into courtney's
apartment to get anything incriminating
and tells the others to get rid of their
notes sophia tells rey they should have
listened to him and jaime tells him he
can walk away but rey wants to stick
with them when the night falls marlo
gets a call from jaime while working at
the hospital he tells her he and rey
found courtney's computer in notes but
not her phone which would be in the
morgue so marlo should retrieve it since
she has access to it marlo goes to the
morgue and quickly finds the phone in
the file cabinet by making it ring with
a call she's about to leave when she
notices courtney's name on the body list
she decides to take it out and look at
it which makes her rather upset after
putting the body back marlar starts
having a vision she sees the words
murderer painted on the refrigerated
unit and gets a call from courtney's
phone she picks it up and hears a voice
calling her name right before the power
goes off marlo turns on the flashlight
on her phone and sees all the doors from
the unit are open she's also jumped on
by cyrus's body before the shock snaps
are back into reality jaime is having
issues as well his shower suddenly runs
out of water and his radio starts
playing baby music he only manages to
stop it after disconnecting it with a
knife then he hears a voice whispering
his name and a woman crying before
alicia appears in front of him jaime
rushes out of the boat when a hand
touches him however alicia is waiting
for him outside and when he sees her he
falls into the water he swims to the
dock and screams when a figure stabs his
hand the group gets together to watch
courtney's recording and after hearing
her talk to tessa marlow comes to the
conclusion their sins are coming back to
haunt them jaime decides everyone should
tell the truth and he starts by talking
about alicia he slept with her and got
her pregnant but was willing to pay for
the abortion when the day came though he
wasn't capable of doing it so he drove
away and left her to fend for herself
she was the one that stabbed him last
night except it couldn't have really
been her because she's still alive and
living somewhere else sophia confesses
what she did to irina in high school but
marlo doesn't say anything about cyrus
they think there's some being perhaps
demonic that is using their guilt to go
after them sometime later during a class
sophia has a vision too she thinks she's
getting insulting text messages like
irina used to get and sees a video of
her sleeping with jaime appearing on the
computer screen unsettled she leaves the
room and makes it to the hallway where
she hears a girl's laughter while an
apparition walks behind her sophia
enters the elevator and notices the
ceiling is missing but she can't get out
because the doors have already closed
the elevator starts going up and
suddenly stops in an old abandoned
classroom where irena shows up startling
sophia back into reality rey visits
marlow at her house to tell her he's
discovered she changed cyrus's autopsy
report to make his death look like an
accident instead of a mistake and asks
her to come clean to the dean marla
refuses to do it because it will destroy
her career rey tells her that she
shouldn't be a doctor meanwhile sophia
asked james to go with her to see irena
she confesses to her that she was the
one that sent out the pictures and
apologizes for her actions irina accepts
to forgive her jaime is inspired by this
and after calling marlo to tell her
about this idea possibly saving them he
goes to see alicia to apologize as well
he discovered she never got the abortion
and she's been raising their son alone
so he admits to being a coward and tells
her he wants to help from now on later
at night marlow is at her house reading
about the afterlife when she starts
having a vision again she finds herself
in the bottom of a dark empty pool where
cyrus body is in front of her but she
wakes up when she touches it it's
already morning when she leaves the
house in her car crying as she drives
another hallucination begins on the way
a pair of hands puts a plastic bag
around her head making it hard to
breathe and causing her to crash rey
gets a message from marlo saying she
needs to stop all this so he calls sofia
and jaime to help him look for her they
find her in the hospital's basement
rooms flatlining so they try to bring
her back while she has her visions marlo
finds herself in the pool again and this
time she stays by cyrus's side and
apologizes to him but he wakes up and
chokes her then she appears on a
stretcher that cyrus pushes into an
empty room marlo gets off the stretcher
only to be pushed around before being
grabbed by the head and put into a tub
filled with water to drown as rey tells
her he needs her to come back to him
marlo manages to get out of the water
but starts being sucked in by a storm
suddenly courtney appears in front of
her and tells her she needs to forgive
herself just as rey finally brings her
back to life a couple of days later
marlo accepts courtney was right and
goes to see the dean to accept
responsibility for what she did the dean
puts her on probation afterward she and
ray throw courtney's computer into the
river so nobody tries the experiment
again the movie ends with a group having
a drink at a bar and realizing the guy
at the piano is playing the same song
courtney did so they drink a toast to
her
