In the wake of World War II, an eclectic group of California inmates are chosen for an unorthodox prison reform experiment that relocates them to an isolated mountain camp to fight wildfires in exchange for reduced sentences - only to face hostile opposition from furious locals and within their own ranks.

Author Bio:
Alex’s past life as a video journalist in eastern-bloc Europe focused his lens on societies in transition. His current work in entertainment-biz LA is a front-row seat to the interplay of media, technology, and culture. From the techno-paranoia of the space-age USSR to the mass-media boom of 1920s Hollywood, Alex’s stories embrace Mark Twain's claim that "history never repeats itself - but it often rhymes." His period dramas peel back layers of history and culture to explore worlds in the midst of profound transition, and the effects of macro-historical forces on individual relationships, dreams and aspirations.
