Plot Summary

Adam's Fire is a 2026 American drama written and directed by Bob Ahmed.
Twelve year old Adam (Hudson Barry) lives on a mountain farm in West Virginia when his mother Amy (Alicia Underwood) is killed by Jackie (Jennifer Marshall), a veteran with PTSD who mistakes her knocking for gunfire. A year later Adam is fighting at school and vandalising Jackie's fence after she returns to the house next door, having served a year in prison. He befriends Mariam (Zahra Jamal), a martial artist staying with the town's therapist, and asks her to teach him to fight, which his father Dan (Chris Alvarez) and Mariam's mother Amina (Aizzah Fatima) both object to.
Eileen Grubba plays Dr Liz and Tom Ohmer plays Sheriff Rick. The film works a Christian story against a Muslim perspective and holds both without flattening either. Outsider Pictures released it in limited US theatres on 9 October 2026, filmed in the West Virginia mountains near Lost Creek.
For viewers who want grief, trauma and forgiveness handled without softening, and for audiences who follow faith-adjacent independent drama.
