Night after night, the wail of sirens wakes the local residents from their sleep. There are no clues to the identity of the culprit, leaving the local police and interstate detectives completely baffled. Little do they know that this would last for close to four years! The detectives have their eye on several persons of interest, when suddenly the method of lighting these fires is discovered... a unique and very clever tactic! When a much loved local is brutally bashed, the valley residents fury burns fierce. Accusations are hurled and friendships shattered as each person becomes suspicious of the other!
