In the midst of a perilous drought that engulfed the Northwest, a mysterious arsonist began setting fires all around, causing Zoe Penney to endure nightmares about her home, situated right next to tinder-dry woods, engulfed in explosions of fire. Her sleep was also plagued by haunting dreams of a little boy deep within the forest. As winter arrived, bringing with it the longed-for rains, it also brought a devastating cancer diagnosis for Zoe's husband, Jay, plunging the family into disbelief and fear. The children clung tightly to their parents, unable to stop touching them, seeking solace and comfort in their presence.

As Jay began his treatment, nature unleashed strange and startling encounters, while a shadowy figure lurked around the corners of the house, casting a mysterious aura. Zoe's initial fear turned into anger, questioning how she could love her husband if she were to lose him. She struggled to find joy amidst the falling sky, wondering how she could live in such a state of uncertainty.

However, as time passed, Zoe gradually embraced a different perspective. She realized that it was possible to love anything, even the terrible things that life threw her way. She began to see the fires as a teaching moment, a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing every moment. Through her pain and loss, Zoe discovered a newfound resilience and strength, learning to embrace the beauty in the world even amid darkness.
