    Summary

    Zuko just wants to live his life in peace, but after a horrible fire broke out in his home when he was eleven years old, the gossip mill around town got out of control and blamed Zuko for the fire that permanently scarred his face. A few years later, when their school burns down, several students claim he was the cause of it, officially branding him as the town firebug.

    Now at the age of 24, working in his Uncle's cafe, Zuko is burdened by an accusation he was innocent of and is followed around by claims of arson when a string of suspicious fires breaks out over the span of several years. Officer Zhao is determined to arrest the young man on these unfounded charges, meanwhile Sokka and the rest of the Southern Water Fire Department believe Zuko's pleas of innocence. Determined to get to the bottom of this once and for all, and free Zuko of eight years of blame so that he can finally try to move on and live a peaceful life, Chief Hakoda, Lieutenant Bato and Sokka may discover much more than they bargained for and just may put Zuko's life at stake.
