Description

Firestarter. Andy McGee and Vicky Tomlinson were ordinary college students until they volunteered for a secret government experiment. The test left them with extraordinary psychic abilities, and when their daughter Charlie is born, she inherits an even more dangerous gift: the power to create and control fire with her mind.

As Charlie grows older, her abilities become increasingly powerful and difficult to conceal. A covert government agency known as The Shop views her as both a threat and a weapon, and soon Charlie and her father are forced to flee from relentless pursuers determined to capture her.

Hunted across the country, Charlie struggles to understand and control her terrifying power while Andy uses his own psychic talents to protect her. But as the pressure mounts and the forces chasing them become more ruthless, Charlie’s abilities threaten to erupt with devastating consequences.
