Brighid LaFlamme, Belly dancer and fire performer, is the undisputed leader of a tight knit group of friends she has dubbed her Fire Buddies. When they are not performing at Renaissance faires or other events, they can be found enjoying alternative forms of adult entertainment and activities at the local kink-oriented venue.
When one of her Fire Buddies, who had recently distanced himself from the group, dies, she has trouble accepting the official story of a tragic accident and becomes determined to learn the truth, despite the challenges and discouragement she faces. Dragging her buddies into this journey, and picking up a few new friends along the way, Brighid discovers the darker side of ambition, talents she never knew she had, and the value of friendship.
