Dans un monde dystopique, le rôle des pompiers a bien changé : ils ne sont désormais plus chargés d’éteindre les incendies, mais plutôt de les allumer. Ainsi, ils doivent détruire par le feu tous les livres existants. Ils ont aussi pour mission de traquer les résistants qui cachent des ouvrages chez eux. L'un d'eux, Guy Montag, va alors se sentir attiré par la lecture...

Recently unemployed single father Dennis Nash, a construction worker in Orlando, Florida, is evicted together with his mother Lynn, a hairdresser, and young son Connor from the foreclosed home they share. Callous real estate operator Rick Carver is in charge of the eviction, and police officers who provide the enforcement call him "boss." Dennis and his family move into a shabby cramped motel room. Dennis goes to Rick's office and tries to take back his tools stolen by Rick's men. Rick sees the confrontation and is impressed by Dennis' gumption. He offers Dennis work as a repairman at his properties and Dennis accepts. Dennis soon becomes Rick's assistant, helping to carry out evictions himself and set up real estate schemes that exploit government and banking rules to the disadvantage of struggling home owners. He starts accepting large payments of money (in exchange for the work he is performing for Mr. Carver) and dips into the glamorous lifestyle in which Rick indulges.
