In the haunting drama “Burning,” a small coastal town is transformed by secrets and the looming threat of environmental disaster. At the heart of the series lies Anne, a passionate environmental scientist who returns to her hometown after years away, only to find the once-thriving community now suffocated by pollution from an offshore oil rig. Determined to uncover the truth behind the ecological crisis, she teams up with her childhood friend, Max, a local fisherman struggling to keep his family business afloat amidst the devastation.

As Anne and Max investigate, they stumble upon a clandestine operation led by a powerful corporation, hell-bent on silencing anyone who opposes their greed. Their journey intertwines with that of Lena, a fierce activist who has rallied the community to fight back against the destruction of their home. Together, they formulate a plan to expose the truth and hold the corporation accountable, reigniting a spark of hope among residents who have long felt powerless.

However, their efforts are met with fierce opposition. The enigmatic CEO of the corporation, Ethan, possesses both charisma and ruthlessness, employing a web of manipulation and deceit to maintain control.
