Fire elements Bernie and Cinder Lumen immigrate from Fire Land to Elemental City and build a life in the city’s fire town. As Bernie prepares for retirement, he plans to pass his shop over to his now-grown daughter, Ember, if she can keep her temper. After an unexpected connection with water element Wade challenges her worldview, Ember discovers alternate possibilities for her future.
