As a wildfire threatens Berkeley, the city's inhabitants are forced to reckon with the cracks in the lives they've built. Abigail, a wealthy white woman, decides to throw a lavish party to raise money for the city's newest affordable housing project. Sunny, a construction worker who sleeps in a van, is in the running for an apartment. As the heat and smoke from the approaching blaze descend upon the town, tensions rise and residents - young and old, haves and have nots - confront the inequities laid bare, and the fragility of building a life in a world on fire.
