Fire Country season 2 plot
At the heart of the series is a procedural about the fires the firefighters (both professional and volunteer) put out in the Northern California area. If dealing with flames wasn’t difficult enough, these characters also have to contend with the drama in their personal lives.
Although the show zeroes in on several characters, the central character is Bode Donovan (Max Thieriot). Once the golden boy of his hometown, he returns years later as a volunteer firefighter with a rap sheet and a desire to prove he’s bigger than his past and people’s misconceptions. The task ahead of him is nothing short of complex.
Here is the official synopsis with the overall plot of the show:
"Fire Country stars Max Thieriot as Bode Donovan, a young convict seeking redemption and a shortened prison sentence by joining a prison release firefighting program in Northern California, where he and other inmates are partnered with elite firefighters to extinguish massive, unpredictable wildfires across the region.
"It’s a high-risk, high-reward assignment, and the heat is turned up when Bode is assigned to the program in his rural hometown, where he was once a golden all-American son until his troubles began. Five years ago, Bode burned down everything in his life, leaving town with a big secret. Now he’s back, with the rap sheet of a criminal and the audacity to believe in a chance for redemption with Cal Fire. Inspired by series star Max Thieriot’s experiences growing up in Northern California fire country."
