Firewatch

He will love me. And I will destroy him.

Robin knows who killed his best friend Aaron. And if the police don’t secure a conviction, then Robin will. One year previously: During a holiday job at a Californian national park, Aaron takes on firewatch duty. Stationed in the next fire tower is Kian, an author. The same age as Aaron, he exerts an irresistible attraction. Aaron secretly leaves his post – and never returns. When investigations are halted, Robin hatches a risky plan: He will date Kian to gain his trust, and avenge Aaron. An insidious game of love and trust, life and death begins.
