Bay of Fires returns to the ABC in June, picking up with Stella (Marta Dusseldorp) juggling her role as boss of Mystery Bay with solo parenting and keeping her criminal overlords at bay.
Stella sees a glimmer of hope on the horizon. No one has tried to kill her for some months; she has a Thursday date night with Jeremiah; and Mystery Bay is prospering under her guidance, albeit in a somewhat chaotic fiscal manner.
But such joys are short-lived when she and her kids find themselves sandwiched between an unhinged apiarist drug lord, a maniacal millenarian doomsday cult, the resurrection of her nemesis, Russia, and a growing civil war in the town.
Slowly, it dawns on Stella that she may be the cause of much of this nightmare. Perhaps the only way out is to go back to the source and blow it sky high.
