When wildfires threaten the foothill town of Altadena, a tight-knit team of firefighters and medics risk everything to protect their community—while battling the personal and political fires that burn within.

SYNOPSIS:

Nestled in the foothills above Los Angeles, the town of Altadena is a place caught between nature and civilization—where breathtaking mountain views meet the ever-present threat of wildfire. When an early and unusually intense fire season ignites the San Gabriel Mountains, Captain Elena Reyes, a decorated but emotionally scarred firefighter, leads her station into battle against a series of blazes that seem too deliberate to be a coincidence.

As her crew races from one catastrophe to the next—rescuing trapped hikers, protecting homes, and navigating a strained relationship with an underfunded county system—Elena begins to suspect a pattern. The fires are spreading in ways that defy natural explanation. Evidence points to arson, but by whom—and why—remains shrouded in smoke.

Each episode peels back another layer of Altadena itself: a diverse community divided by class, race, and history; a place where environmental crisis collides with real estate greed and political ambition. While Elena and her team fight to save lives, they uncover a deeper conspiracy linking the flames to developers, power companies, and even members of their own department.

At its core, Power Lines is a story about resilience in a world on fire—both literally and metaphorically. It’s about the people who run toward danger when everyone else runs away, and what it costs them to keep doing so.
