Based on actual events, The Women of Lockerbie follows two New Jersey parents on their trip to Lockerbie, Scotland, where their son perished aboard Pan Am Flight 103 seven years prior. In search of closure, the couple encounter the women of the small town, who are trying to recover the victims' clothing, which is being held by the U.S. government. The women wish to return the garments to the families of those who died.

The tragedy of Pan Am Flight 103 took place on Dec. 21, 1988, when the plane exploded over Lockerbie, killing 259 passengers and 11 people on the ground. Families of the victims of the nearly 15-year-old disaster are still seeking compensation.
