When her friends offer her a chance to housesit their centuries-old farm in Newton, Texas, Mrs. Barnett and her niece Kendall are eager to begin their adventure.

At first, the sheriff and firefighters have the flames contained, but when more fires start across the town, Mrs. Barnett suspects that someone is starting the fires and threatening the people.
