Episode 1: Kindling
When a devastating fire decimates the small Albertan fracking town, Winnisk, suspicion begins to fall on teenager Maisey Goodhand, whose twin brother Sirus was seen running joyfully through the flames before being shot dead by local police chief Franki Rawlins.

Watch out for Episode 2, coming next Thursday, February 4.
