A routine house fire ends in tragedy as the local fire department loses one of its own during the blaze. Taking the brunt of the blame is Kristin Scott, as she was the only other firefighter in the house at the time. Now, as dormant sexist tensions erupt, the entire Fire Department questions Kristin's abilities as a fire fighter. Worst of all, her family does as well. Even though Kristin is soon exonerated of any wrong doing, the tensions and prejudice continue to boil over. She is left with only one choice, and that is to prove her skills at the highest level. With dogged determination she sets out to become the first woman ever accepted into the elite Missoula Smokejumpers - the most dangerous form of fire fighting there is. Now, against an disapproving family, and a male dominated world of smoke jumping, Kristin has four weeks of rookie training camp to prove that she can do what no woman in her field has done before. But a massive forest fire begins to ravage the countryside and completely wipes out a crew of smoke jumpers in its path. Kristin along with the small team of trainees is immediately put into active duty to do battle with the ever-growing wildfire. As the disaster spreads to neighboring towns it quickly threatens hundreds of homes and thousands of lives including the lives of her family. Kristin needs all of her resolve to fight back the demons of her past so that she may help defeat this raging inferno, and prove once and for all that she's got the right stuff.
