Captain James Embry wakes up next to the wreckage of King Nine. He remembers crashing with the rest of the crew, but nothing else. He sets off to find the other crew members. He finds the grave of one, mirages of all of them, and jet aircraft flying over. He collapses and awakens in a hospital room. Seventeen years earlier, Embry had missed the flight of King Nine, and ever since has felt guilty. He saw a newspaper headline about the wreckage of King Nine being found in the desert. He had went into a state of shock and hallucinated being in the desert, but later someone finds sand in his shoes.
