‘From Embers’ manages to stand out from other grief-based dramas due to its conspiracy thriller genre elements.

Lily is a newly single mother as she grapples with the sudden loss of her husband Ron while caring for their nine-year-old autistic son, Kevin, and forming a bond with their new alcoholic neighbor, Marty Baker, a painter with a passion for music who works hard to create a future for his 13-year-old daughter, Chloe.
