Fire Dance
Nicky McManus is a New York firefighter. His brother Sean is a stock broker in Chicago who returns to the Big Apple after the death of their mother. Sean decides to stay in New York and move in with Nicky in an effort to reconnect with his brother – and to pursue his old flame, Janice. When Janice moves into the apartment, however, long-dormant passions are aroused in cold-hearted Nicky, and old rivalries between the brothers come to the surface with consequences that will change them both forever.
Featuring: Val Kozlenko and Brian McNally
