It's also like an old fashioned nostalgia pic a la American Graffiti or Grease shoe-horning the late 90s into the stream and as such we get a bevy of delightful Gen X grunge classics like "Can't Fight the Seether" or Seal's "A View to a Kill". As stated before this is a going for broke exploitation pic so they throw in every shock trope under the sun cannibalism lesbianism weird pagan ritualistic sacrifices black mail and murder summoning the spirits from beyond and the occult stalking and abusively codependent relationships ESP and about a billion other verboten topics I'm forgetting.
So we see the horrific Lord of the Flies island experience and then we see their lives 25 years later and how that horrific event continues to have it's devastating ripple effect/ Butterfly effect on the present.
And unfortunately once the girls have summoned these dark forces they continue to terrorize them throughout their lives bringing all sorts of bad luck murder and mayhem. And the girls are abandoned and without means for communication and have to resort to all sorts of horrifying means for survival breaking all the Ten Commandments even dabbling into witch craft and cannibalism to survive. During the flight their plane unfortunately crashes in some remote part of the Canadian Rockies. The trouble starts for the team when they are flying on a plane to a national conference.
The story follows a high school girl's soccer team called the Yellow Jackets. The plot is one of those Now and Then/ Before and After narratives where the story is split in half between the girl versions of the characters and their middle aged woman doppelgangers. What a crazy conflagration of exploitation pics and girl power action epics! This is a crazy confection of The Lord of the Flies Swiss Family Robinson Lost, I Know What You Did Last Summer Thirty Something Little Women The Facts of Life The Craft and Harvest Home.
