If you only had a few minutes to evacuate your house in the face of
a wildfire, what would you take? And if you were separated from
your mom and thought she was in danger, would you still leave - or
would you head back in to rescue her? Twelve-year-old Sam lives
alone with his mom and their dog in the idyllic seaside town of
Santa Bonita. His father died when Sam was young, but his best
friend Marco has been helping recreate his dad's old photos as part
of a memorial project. One particularly warm October day, however,
Sam smells something faint from far away. It's the scent of smoke.
An unexpected southern California wildfire is whipping ferociously
toward town. Sam, Marco, and the whole neighborhood must urgently
evacuate with little warning. Sam is distraught. If his house
burns, all his memories of his father will go with it. Even worse,
Sam's dog disappears during the emergency, sending the boy into a
panic. When he should be leaving the city with Marco and his
family, Sam instead turns back, a decision that will plunge him
right into the path of a deadly fire.
