Based on a true story, this twisting psychological thriller focuses on a serial arsonist whose terrifying six-year crime spree is juxtaposed with the increasingly desperate efforts of investigators to bring him to justice. Charged with investigating many of these fires is Captain John Orr, a legendary figure in the Glendale Fire Department, possessed with an uncanny ability to pinpoint the origins of a fire, as well as the devices by which an arsonist may have carried out the crime. Through a fingerprint left at the scene of one crime and a series of surprise revelations focusing on arsons set in several towns, the task force is able to close in on an unlikely suspect and ultimately crack the case.

"The film has an outstanding cast that includes Ling Bai, Ronny Cox, and Illeana Douglas in supporting roles, some very nice effects and a terrific first half. It’s very unfortunate that Sigel takes everything he so carefully sets up and throws it out the window in favor of creating a muddled final act. Despite who was finally convicted for the crime, the film never builds a solid enough to case to justify its conclusion."
