In this fact-based film, a serial arsonist has been setting fires in California, and an intense investigation is undertaken to find him. John Orr (Ray Liotta), a highly respected arson investigator whose marriage to Wanda (Bai Ling) is on the rocks, is called in to help. Orr's partner, Keith Lang (John Leguizamo), is appointed to a commission investigating the incidents. Lang clashes with ATF agent Mike Matassa (Colm Feore), who suspects that Orr may be more involved in the case than he lets on.
