Pyros

Montreal-based Groupe Fiatlux-Ampleman (GFA) is chosen to put on a fireworks show at the worlds largest winter festival, Carnaval, in Quebec City. But moments before the show starts, Head Pyrotech Philippe struggles to light the warning shell. Later, GFA participates in the festivals closing parade with a custom float that spits fire and launches fireworks. The show, however, is cut short as high winds prove dangerous. Philippe and Sebastien head to Valencia, Spain to learn from the best of the best during the "Las Fallas Festival."

Maude aims high as she pitches GFA to the client responsible for hiring the pyro company for Canada Day at Parliament Hill. But when circumstances beyond her control push the fireworks choreography out of synch, Maude ends up eating humble pie as her client looks on. Philippe and Sebastien plan to hand-light a large fireworks show but soon realize that its going to put Philippes life on the line. GFAs last chance at redemption is their fireworks show for the worlds largest jazz festival but a faulty scissor lift shuts them down only moments before show time.

GFA reaches their breaking point when thunderstorms put a damper on their back-to-back shows on a lake in Ste-Agathe. As the pyros battle wind and water, mishaps quickly multiply and suddenly everyones safety is at risk. Across the Atlantic at an international competition on the coast of France, Philippe and Benoit quickly realize no one plays by the rules and that their supplier has sent them the wrong products. Outgunned by their competitors, the underdogs find that fate has a way of defying expectations.

At the biggest fireworks competition in the world - L'International des Feux Loto-Québec in Montreal Maude, Eric, Sebastien and Philippe help their British friends stage an ambitious show, power-packed with over 10,000 effects. The work goes well until the night before the show when a flash flood wipes out their set-up. Then in Berlin, Eric, Benoit, Hugues, and Philippe take on five European teams at Pyronale, the World Cup of fireworks. A festival they expect to be genteel and refined turns into a bare-knuckle battle as each team pulls out all the stops to launch the most impressive show and bring home a gold trophy.
