Not even the end of the world can stand in the way of settling an old score.
When a solar flare lights up the sky and disrupts communications on a global scale, vicious San Quentin inmate Garand Barlow is unaware of what the ominous glow turning night into day truly means. But he does know one thing: while everyone is watching the sky, no one is watching him… and that proves to be a fatal mistake.
Nearby in the small town of Berkeley, California, astronomy professor David Kaplan knows exactly what the lights signify. As he tries desperately to convince his colleagues that immediate action is required to avert a global catastrophe, Garand escapes and arrives in town with only one thing on his mind: David’s blood.
Burn is a fast moving thriller with science fiction elements that enhance the dark and complicated dilemmas its characters must face. The small town at the edge of its own grave, escalating global violence that hints at disaster, and the cat and mouse chase that drives the entire script as the temperature steadily rises to over one hundred forty degrees and the world descends into chaos.
