Andrew left a blaze of destruction behind him in small-town Tasmania. Now, living in Brisbane with his mum, he’s determined to start fresh. But when a deliberately lit bushfire sends two kids to hospital, Andrew's past comes roaring back. He's sure that if he can get back to Tasmania and find his dad, everything will finally be okay. But with his friends and the police asking questions, time is running out.

Andrew needs to decide whether he’s running from the fire – or towards it.
