Synopsis
Kerry Murphy works as an arson investigator, and fire has never stopped haunting her. A blaze from her past still returns in her nightmares: the heat, the choking smoke, the helplessness of being unable to outrun it. Her partner on the job is Sam, a dog trained to sniff out evidence.
Her routine breaks when the flames of her past return and a stranger known only as Silver appears. He has picked her out to help find a killer who sets fires on purpose, and Kerry does not know who he is or why he chose her.
This is a psychological thriller built around a pursuit. The killer is a cold-blooded psychopath whose chosen weapon is fire, and he is spiralling out of control. Kerry and Silver may not be a match for him, and innocent lives are in danger.
The tone is dark and tense, with a mystery about Silver running alongside the hunt for the arsonist. To stop the killer, Kerry has to do something she hoped she would never have to do: fight fire with fire.
