In Brooklyn, New York in 1930, 6-year-old Georgia Nolan aspires to be a fireman like her father used to be, before he changed his career to a tailor to be able to better take care of her after the death of her mother.

After Shawn tells her that women aren't allowed to be firemen, Georgia pretends to give it up and follow in his footsteps as a seamstress, but begins training in secret on the rooftop for the next decade.

While in disguise, "Joe" meets the other firemen: Jin, a Chinese-American who loves to drive faster than a cheetah but suffers from narcolepsy, and Ricardo, a Spanish-American who got muscle from helping his father work at the steel mill but his true passion is for chemistry, so he calculates the best and safest way for the team to put the fires out.

The last concert hall standing has policemen surrounding it but an African-American opera diva named Laura Devine keeps breaking in to rehearse her upcoming musical, and when asked to leave, she backtalks Shawn by saying she grew up hearing no all the time in the Jim crow south "no don't eat off the good plates" "no don't kiss the baby" "no you must use the outhouse like the other staff", so she saved every penny to come to New York and when the lead singer "fell" off the stage she hijacked the show and got discovered so she promptly refuses to leave so she can practice where her assistant Pauline promptly fails tangling her from a rope when the crank handle snaps off into her hands and drops her right through the stage floorboards leaving her into a full body cast.

The film was released in the United States by Hulu in February 2022 exclusively on the service of the same name, and in Europe by Entertainment One throughout the rest of the year.
