一名小女孩和家人搬回父亲曾居住过的小镇，而她对真相的执着，让一桩陈年悬案重新浮出水面。 本剧取材自九岁小记者希尔迪·凯特·利沙克（Hilde Kate Lysiak）2016年写下的真实报导。

After the mayor of an idyllic island village discovers a child with mysterious powers awash on their shores, the once peaceful community devolves into civil war, torn over the belief that the child is the next saviour.

Link and his brother flee their abusive father and embark on a journey where Link discovers his sexuality and rediscovers his Mi’kmaw heritage.

　　The dead are coming back to life outside the isolated Mi'gMaq reserve of Red Crow, except for its Indigenous inhabitants who are strangely immune to the zombie plague.

斯蒂芬·金又一部小说将拍成电影：著名编剧Akiva Goldsman将执导新的《凶火》电影版，讲述一对通过实验获得超能力的夫妻生下一个能遭纵火焰的女儿，政府派出特工绑架小姑娘，试图让她成为武器…父女情很感人。1984年曾有一版电影，德鲁·巴里摩尔演那个小女孩，相当厉害。但那版被斯蒂芬·金称为“自己小说最烂的改编之一，故事倒是忠于原作，但太乏味了，就像酒店自助餐厅的马铃薯泥。”
