Burn Up
Synopsis
Burn Up is a high stakes conspiracy thriller set against the backdrop of the oil industry. It is a story that mirrors the world in which we live - where we struggle to be both economically successful and globally responsible. We follow the charismatic and ambitious Tom McConnell who, at first glance, seems like the perfect man to take over as the new chairman of Arrow Oil. But after an Inuit woman lights herself on fire, in protest against what the oil companies are doing to her native land, Tom begins a dangerous inquiry into the dealings of his company.
Burn Up is an eviscerating tale where the stakes are terrifyingly real.
