FOR ZANDER HOLLIS, LIFE OR DEATH DECISIONS ARE JUST ANOTHER DAY AT THE OFFICE

North America's heatwave is breaking records… and the west coast is literally burning to the ground. But for former Army Ranger Zander Hollis, the out-of-control flames aren't the worst of his problems. Not even close. As a fugitive on the run for a murder he insists he didn't commit, Zander must find a way to get out of the danger zone while helping Willa Sams, a feisty and fiercely independent teenager orphaned by the flames, all while trying to convince her, the world, and – most importantly – his wife, of his innocence. And he has to do it while avoiding the very people looking for him, some of whom desperately want to silence him. And they’ll go to any lengths to make sure he doesn’t talk.

FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN

When a deadly wildfire threatens his family, wrongly imprisoned Zander Hollis must somehow get free to save them.

Former Army Ranger and combat field medic Zander Hollis has been sentenced to seven years at the Coujee Valley State Penitentiary for a horrific crime he says he didn't commit. And now there's a contract on his head for a riot he didn't start. When his brother disappears after leaving Zander's parole hearing, Zander begins a seemingly hopeless campaign to try and locate him. Could he have been lost within the deadliest blaze in California history? As the natural disaster threatens the prison itself, Zander makes a fateful decision, one that he hopes will get him the answers he so desperately seeks. But it could also force him to sacrifice everything else he so dearly cares about.

RUN BOY RUN

Fire freed him from prison… and orphaned her. Now, they'll need each other if they're both going to survive.

After a deadly wildfire forces the emergency evacuation of the Coujee Valley State Penitentiary halfway through Zander's sentence, Zander unexpectedly finds himself set free by a long-time prison guard sympathetic to Zander's need to find his brother, who was lost fleeing the rapidly spreading blaze. But not everyone is happy with the decision, including Zander's cellmate and a junior correctional officer with dubious connections to a dangerous prison gang and a vendetta he's determined to carry out. When Zander crosses paths with Willa May Sams, a fiercely independent 14-year-old orphaned by the same fire, the two clash over the seemingly unbridgeable generational divide. They'll need to work together or else risk losing everything. Unfortunately, the feds are now on Zander's trail…

And they've been authorized to use deadly force to bring Zander back to justice.
