Today, Eddie is holding a memorial for his brother at a park near their council estate. Today is also the day Paige decides to close the road to this countryside sanctuary in a protest about climate action.

Naturally, when the pair meet, sparks fly, insults are traded in a fiery exchange, and they expect never to see each other again. 

But they do. Again. And again. And again. 

Until they feel there’s no choice but to join forces and take drastic action together.

Fire Fire is an exciting, moving drama about people taking big risks to protest, people who love to hate them, and how some people discover they have more in common than they think.
