Since her mother's death, Savanna has permanently indented the couch and the channel button on the remote. Her father is worried; he thinks they both need to do something drastic. So this summer, he's taking her on an adventure, to renovate her mother's childhood home. But the dusty, dry Jessop, Texas is not ideal, and the small town is full of people who knew and loved - or hated - her mother. When a wildfire breaks out across neighboring farmland, the boy next door calls on Savanna to help the victims driven from their homes. Dev is an artist with kind eyes and a fierce painting of her mother on his bedroom wall. But Savanna is drawn to Blake, a reclusive boy with a scar running down his face like a teardrop, who looks at Savanna as if she put it there. The three friends rally to bring relief to the evacuees. But when they face the fire of prejudice, they must rely on each other to get through the blaze unscathed.
