Lifetime turns up the heat this Sunday with “Playing With Fire,” a thriller about a seemingly idyllic marriage thrown into chaos by a dangerously obsessive firefighter. After a near-fatal house fire, the firefighter inserts himself into the couple’s lives, using manipulation and psychological games to drive a wedge between them. His goal? To win the wife’s affections, no matter the cost.

Starring Kirsten Comerford, Stephen Adekolu, and Brett Geddes, “Playing With Fire” explores the dark side of obsession and the fragility of relationships when put under extreme pressure. As the firefighter’s actions become increasingly unsettling, the couple must fight to protect their marriage and their lives. The film examines the lasting impact of trauma, not only from the fire itself, but also from the psychological torment inflicted by their supposed rescuer.
