Lisa Foster (played by Sarah Wayne Callies) survives the crash, while Rebecca Till (played by Joy Bryant) helps the families of the missing passengers. "The Ocean Between Them" premiers on September 26 and stars Rebecca Gayheart as a mother whose world is turned upside down when her daughter disappears at sea during a vacation in Belize.
