It begins in 1968, where Iris Campbell attends the inauguration ceremony of a towering restaurant, ‘Skyview.’ Suddenly, Iris has a horrifying premonition – she sees the tower collapsing, resulting in hundreds of deaths.
Her fear proves true, but she manages to save many lives by issuing timely warnings. However, her life and her family's life never return to normalcy. Death seeks revenge for their interference in its plans.
