When Celia Williams is found dead, having burned herself in a lurid act of suicide, her fiancé Lloyd Denman doesn't seem to be able to go on with his own life, haunted by Celia and their past together. As Lloyd struggles to deal with this tragic event he learns about a bizarre accident in the California's desert where a busload of people have burned to death.
