The Fire

The Fire is a contemporary pulp-noir retelling of Dostoevsky’s Demons: A high-desert American city descent into madness. 

The Fire is a multi-perspective narrative nightmare set in a dusty, high-desert American city waiting for a spark.

The Town Hall is approaching. The factory workers are restless. The internet is screaming. And in the shadows, a group of five conspirators is planning a catastrophe not to build a new world, but simply to watch the old one burn.
