UNLIKELY HERO – A COMEDY DRAMA ABOUT FIREFIGHTERS
The best things in life are worth waiting for.
Life for Mike Donner was about as normal as one could expect for a firefighter at a busy Miami station. Cooking, pulling pranks, and copious amounts of coffee were all part of the daily routine. But then someone walked into the station that wasn’t part of Mike’s daily routine: his ex-girlfriend, Renee in this comedy drama about firefighters.
At first, things are tense, especially for a fire station in 1975, when women firefighters weren’t part of the norm. Mike and Renee’s constant bickering becomes too much for the Captain, who
puts Renee on engine duty until she and Mike can prove they can work together. But priorities become a lot clearer when Mike, Renee, and coworkers Porter, Joe, Mandy, and Watchman,
confront a raging fire at a paint store. After Renee puts her own life on the line to save Mike, the truth about her complicated past with Mike comes to light for the rest of the team. And by the time Mike finally gets released from the hospital, both of them have learned that life is too short to dismiss the love they have for one another.
