In the bittersweet summer of 1958, two young brothers discover the true meaning of family love and friendship. With their parents needing a break from a troubled marriage and a budding arsonist youngest son, Mike and Jimmy are sent north to Wisconsin to stay with their maternal grandmother, a widowed tavern owner.
Eccentric doesn't begin to describe the warm-hearted people of the town called Friendship. There's Aggie's Tap, where the boys will sleep, as Grandma's house is reserved for her spoiled dogs. Amidst the quirky characters like Beau, a Hollywood stuntman, and adventures with the Big Fish People, the brothers uncover family secrets, experience first love, and lend a hand to acting Sheriff Tuttle.
Throughout it all, they constantly wonder if they will return to an intact family. The stakes heighten when Jimmy is kidnapped, forcing Mike and Beau to team up for a daring rescue. Trust and healing broken faith become the key to either restoring their family or watching it go up in flames. Dive into the unforgettable journey of Mike and Jimmy in Fire Conditions.
