Who Tames the Flames? is a gritty, character-driven drama set during Montana's most catastrophic wildfire season in over a century. The series follows Gully, a former wildland firefighter who walked away from the line years ago, hollowed out by trauma and a burdensome legacy. Now, on the edge of suicide, he makes a desperate call to his old mentor and is thrust back into the inferno-not just of the forest, but of his past. Assigned as crew boss of an inmate crew, Gully must navigate the shifting terrain of wildfire suppression while leading a crew of incarcerated men. As he confronts blistering heat, burnout operations, and the raw human intensity of firelines, he begins to see the convicts not as criminals but as complex individuals attempting to rewrite their own sinful pasts. As his time on the fire progresses, he uncovers a mystery tied to the death of his father in the Yellowstone fires of '88-a legacy shrouded in smokescreens. Fire acts as a duality between destruction and renewal. Through this elemental chaos, Who Tames the Flames? explores the themes of redemption, masculinity, legacy, and judgment with intense firefighting sequences and biting humor that only a prisoner can provide. As the landscape burns, so too does Gully and the prison crew's understanding of their lives. Will they be killed by the blaze or reborn in its ashes?
