Description

Lucky only wanted to grill chicken. Instead, he nearly set the entire island on fire.

What begins as a simple roadside barbecue on a lava field spirals into the most chaotic day Ocean View has ever witnessed. One spark, a sudden gust of wind, and Lucky finds himself at the center of a full-blown brush fire—wrangling goats, stomping embers, battling hallucinations from old Vietnam memories, and arguing with his furious partner, Darlyn, who insists he does not “have it handled.”

As the flames grow, Lucky is pulled into a whirlwind of unexpected roles: reluctant firefighter, evacuation driver, sandwich-maker, and, according to the town gossip mill, “The Fire Dancer.” Between volunteer crews, sharp-tongued aunties, and a community that refuses to back down, Lucky discovers something bigger than luck: real courage, humility, teamwork, and perhaps even a bit of redemption.

Fast, funny, and full of heart, Lucky and the Wildfire Waltz is a blazing comedy of errors that proves even the most chaotic moments can spark unexpected heroism. A hilarious, heartfelt story about community, second chances, and the surprising ways ordinary people rise during extraordinary situations.
