City on Fire is an Apple TV+ American crime drama, based on the novel of the same name. Based in 2004 New York City, City on Fire follows Charlie (Wyatt Oleff), detectives, and the Hamilton Sweeney family after Sam (Chase Sui Wonders) is shot in Central park on July 4th. An underground music scene, a wealthy real estate family, and mysterious city-wide fires are all connected by Sam, who is friends with a band in the underground music scene and had an affair with the husband of a Hamilton Sweeney. Charlie gets swept up in rebellion against gentrification in New York City, while Regan (Jemima Kirkle) and Will (Nico Tortorella) Hamilton Sweeney fight to save their company from an outsider pulling strings to steal the company away from their family. Charlie makes friends with Sam's friends--the band Ex Post Facto. The band is lead by pyromaniac Nicky Chaos (Max Milner) and is responsible for the many fires and bombings that take down many buildings around New York. Amory Gould (John Cameron Mitchell) is plotting to take over the real estate empire by any means necessary and has resorted to funding Nicky and friend's lifestyle and hiring them to burn buildings in the neighborhood to purchase buildings at a lower cost meanwhile framing Bill Hamilton Sweeney for financial crimes. Detectives diligently search for answers as Sam hangs on by a thread in critical care, ultimately discovering Amory is at the head of the takeover. Charlie diffuses a bomb to save a city block in New York City, finds that the culprits of the shooting are Sewer Girl (Alexandra Doke) and Sol (Alexander Pineiro), and rushes to Sam in the hospital during a city wide blackout to find her awake at the end of the series.
