Synopsis

'Soul on fire' tells the story of John O'Leary, a young man who burns his entire body and whose chances of survival are slim. The film addresses his struggle for life, his impossible efforts to achieve the impossible, always supported by his family, his faith, and his own city. 

The feature film is directed by Sean McNamara ('Reagan', 'Bau, Artist at War', 'To Win', 'Soul Surfer') and written by Gregory Poirier ('The Knox Method', 'Rumors That Kill'). The cast includes figures such as Joel Courtney, John Corbett, William H. Macy, Stephanie Szostak, DeVon Franklin, Masey McLain, and Stella Bratcher, among others. 

McNamara has directed other films with this theme of effort and overcoming, providing the plot with all the necessary details about the characters' sacrifices, in an emotional tone with which the viewer can quickly feel connected. His stories are always full of values and place great importance on family, trust, and love. 

'Soul on Fire' comes from Sony Pictures as the distributor, with its premiere in October 2025 in the United States and Canada.
