The film tells the personal stories of six people who boarded the plane that day, never to come home. On 21st December , passenger jet Pan Am was blown up over the small Scottish town of Lockerbie, killing all passengers and crew and 11 people on the ground. For nearly forty years the bombing has been mired in criminal investigations, controversy and conspiracy theory — overshadowing the stories of the people who lost their lives.

Instead, this powerful and emotional documentary focuses on the passengers. For the first time, family and friends describe their lost loved ones in intimate detail - who they were, what they were like in life, their hopes and dreams for a future that never came. They tell us why they were on the plane that day and wonder whether they should have been warned not to be.
