He came home to heal. She came home to start over. Can first love reignite without one of them getting burnt?

Burnt tells the story of Sebastian Taylor and Rebecca Whiteman, who were country town high school sweethearts dreaming of a future together when an accident one night forever changed their destiny. Eighteen years after the tragedy, newly divorced Rebecca returns to the small town she left behind to start a new life.

Seb, now an elite SAS soldier in the Australian Army, arrives home to his farm, injured and grieving, to face a town that hasn't forgotten and a father who has never understood him.

Rebecca has enough problems of her own without adding Seb Taylor to the mix: a failed marriage, two children to support, and a persistent mysterious caller. The last thing she needs is her first love making a sudden reappearance in her life. Seb doesn't want to get mixed up in Rebecca's life. He came home to heal his wounds, both old and new, but can he do it without getting burnt?
