Set in Yacolt, Washington, in the first days of September 1902, the play follows Essie Garner, daughter of one of the first homesteaders in the area. After losing her fiancé in a tragic fire, she's come back home to care for her ailing father. But along comes Jamie Walsh, a land buyer for Weyerhaeuser company with a scheme to force the Garners to sell their well-timbered homestead to him for a pittance. Essie takes up a scheme to get Jamie to wed her and therefore keep the land in the family...but when their town and their homestead is threatened by a forest fire of epic proportions, more than simply trees will be burnt away in the process.

Written and Directed by David Bareford
