In 2007 Prescott| Arizona| Eric Marsh of the Prescott Fire Department is frustrated fighting forest fires when the Type 1 or "Hotshot" front line forest fire fighting crews from afar overrule his operational suggestions to his area's sorrow. To change that| Marsh gets approval from the Mayor to attempt to organize an unprecedented certified municipal-based Hotshot crew for Prescott. To that end| Marsh needs new recruits| which includes the young wastrel| Brendan McDonough| to undergo the rigorous training and qualification testing for the most dangerous of fire fighting duty. Along the way| the new team meets the challenge and the hailed Granite Mountain Hotshots are born. In doing so| all the men| especially McDonough| are changed as new experience and maturity is achieved in fire-forged camaraderie. All this is put to the test in 2013 with the notorious Yarnell Hill Fire that will demand efforts and sacrifices no one can ignore.
