The Story
Buckle up for a wild ride with this airborne locked-door thriller. Previously a Wattpad WEBTOON Watty Award winning story.
Eighteen-year-old Evelyn Werth is trapped in what feels like a never-ending nightmare. She's the only person onboard Aloha Airways Flight 1333 who's stuck in a 28-minute time loop, one that repeats over and over again. During each loop, four things always happen:
2. There are five minutes of moderate shaking.
3. A woman in the very last row collapses.
4. The plane tilts forward and begins to nosedive. When Orion James -the cute boy who's been asleep the entirety of each cycle- wakes, it triggers an alarming change in the events Evelyn has come to count on. As the two grow closer and learn to trust each other, they discover there's more to the loop than they initially realized. They must find the hidden clues, piece together the moving puzzle, and save everyone onboard -before it's too late.
