The entire city of Gatlinburg, Tennessee, the popular resort city in the Smokey Mountains, is engulfed in flames from a wildfire that threatens to destroy the entire town.  Residents and guests trying to flee the fire see their cars catch fire and must abandon them.

Guests are trapped inside the Hilton Hotel because the flames and high winds make it dangerous to evacuate.  By this time tomorrow, Gatlinburg could be a memory.
