Narrative:

Aircraft X check on frequency FL290 descending to FL240; aircraft was higher than normal; so could not issue normal crossing. Issued descent clearance to aircraft to 140 and ask for good rate down. Pointed aircraft out to sector 22; and coordinated with cvg approach descending to 140. Sdf approach called on shout line; went off line for coordination. When coordination was complete notice that aircraft X flew a north heading off of flm VOR and did not make normal turn for arrival; which in turn violated sector 69. I immediately pvd'd to sector 69 and coordinated. Switched aircraft X to cvg approach. Talked with cvg approach after situation occurred and cvg said aircraft X was issued flm..day but I did not issue that clearance only the descent clearance. Aircraft X flight plan read flm kekee STAR to day. Recommendation; I would have issued the crossing clearance to aircraft X which was a fix located on the STAR and ask him if he could not make the crossing to advise; which would have alerted the aircraft and I that something was incorrect in the flight plan.
