Marc Notes: A giant wildfire is roaring through Colorado's Flat Tops Wilderness Area. The massive blaze is wiping out Allison Coil's precious hunting grounds, and the flames have set their sights on the beautiful ranch owned by her boyfriend's family. Allison is also shocked to learn that a body has been found in the fire-ravaged forest - a friend who was a reclusive environmentalist with an unorthodox idea for the battle against global warming. Along with reporter Duncan Bloom, she burrows into an underground group of anti-government extremists. As they strike close to home and hurt those closest to her, she vows hell might not be punishment enough for this cabal of sinister fanatics.
