The Burning Season
In the shadow of Georgia’s Cohutta Mountains, the Hayes family clings to their generational legacy on Hayes Ridge ranch, where patriarch Cole Hayes wrestles with the ghosts of his late wife’s death and the gnawing dread of losing the land that defines him. His sons—fire captain Jace, steadfast rancher Walker, timber boss Boone, and horseman Cade—navigate their own scars of fractured brotherhood and unhealed resentments, their daily rhythms of ranching, logging, and firefighting strained by a merciless heatwave that parches springs, stresses livestock, and ignites buried family tensions.
When dry lightning unleashes a firestorm that merges distant blazes into an unstoppable inferno racing toward the ridge, the Hayes men must defy evacuation orders to defend their home, risking lives, livestock, and the very unity holding them together. As veterinarian Rowan, Walker’s fierce love caught between duty to the animals and pleas for survival, battles alongside them through choking smoke and collapsing timberlines, the family confronts explosive divisions and rekindled passions in this pulse-pounding saga of grit, heartache, and redemption-forged bonds.
