Based on a novel by Stephen King, this story follows Charlie McGee, a teenager who possesses an incredible supernatural ability: she can start fires just by wishing for it. It all begins with an experiment by her father, conducted by a secret government group that focused on investigating the effects of experimental drugs on people, where he and his wife underwent testing. While they did not achieve instant results, their daughter did, which makes her a target for this dark group that seeks to exploit her powers.
As Charlie grows and struggles to control her gift, she becomes a young woman increasingly aware of her situation. Her life turns into a nightmare when the government, in its eagerness to capture her, causes the deaths of her parents, forcing her to flee and become stronger, but also more vulnerable. With her power becoming increasingly uncontrollable and her life in constant danger, Charlie faces a difficult decision: to use her ability to take revenge on those who have harmed her family or to find a way to escape her life marked by violence.
Throughout her journey, the story becomes a profound analysis of loss, maturity, and the consequences of overwhelming power. Charlie must learn to manage her ability and combat dark forces that threaten not only her life but also her humanity. In the end, a daughter's love confronts the greed of a system that only sees her as a tool.
