How will a fire affect the lives of five clinically diagnosed youths with mental disorders? Would it lead to tangible changes in themselves, or would it stir the undisturbed madness tucked well within their recovering mental dispositions?

* * * *

St. Teresa's All-Girl Catholic School is the foundation of the thriving town of Forstpine, so when a fire broke out and burned the school to the ground, the city fell into chaos. It ignited an outrage, which mobilized the authorities to apprehend the unnamed arsonist. 

Meanwhile, along with their friends, two girls try to escape the consequences of what they did. However, the obstacles they have to face will be impossible to overcome, as secrecy, lies, and unshakable ties hold them back. But to make their afflictions worse, their therapist is suspicious of their newly formed bond and is scrutinizing their actions. Dazed, affraid, and confused, they will face the fires that are in pursuit of their lives to be able to escape the troubles they will confront and, mostly, cause.

This is the spectacle of six troubled teens in one waiting room, where there's bound to be a bit of blood, a lot of tears, and plenty of smoke and cigarette burns. For teens who have had nothing all their lives, it's everything.
