Interactive Synopsis *
LAMBENT FUSE is a character-driven drama that illustrates human connection and choice. This complex narrative unfolds in a non-chronological timeframe as the lives of these six main characters intertwine.
Freddie Goone (Rhett Romsaas) plunges into a detached world full of regret after recent and tragic events trigger his slide into depression. Allison Swanson s (Emily Fradenburgh) kleptomania undermines her ability to hold a job and maintain a relationship with an emotionally detached and swiftly sinking Freddie. Paul Dobbler (Eric Hanson), a mysterious chef, takes it upon himself to meddle in the life of a woman with whom he’s deeply infatuated. Phillip Richter (Matthew Feeney) seeks to overcome allegations that threaten his long sought promotion as police captain. Keith Malone (Nick Hansen) and Vincent Becker (Dan Eckman-Thomas) embark on a series of robberies that land them in a situation that is way over their heads.
As the lives of these characters meld together, the consequences of their seemingly straightforward choices result in unpredictable and dynamic outcomes.
