Amika is thrown in the hole for forty days. Locked in a windowless cell, she can hear the women through the walls losing their sanity. To protect herself, Amika must shut down all connections with everyone she loves: her cellies, her mom, and even her kids. The world looks dark until she sees a small light that may illuminate a path to her new life when she gets a call from the firehouse.

Every call brings her the chance to reclaim the world she lost.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Follow Fire Escape on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
