Firecracker is a tale of murder in small town Wamego, Kansas. The film portrays abuse, suffering, denial, and dreams of escape. Jimmy (Jak Kendall), meek, reclusive, and talented, is emotionally imprisoned by his abusive, alcoholic older brother David (Mike Patton) and fanatically religious mother Eleanor (Karen Black). At night Jimmy finds escape in a traveling sideshow carnival. Unlike its drab, depressing daytime reality, the carnival becomes a nightly glittering solitaire on the prairie, beckoning all around to its illusions and make-believe. With a guise of red satin and a heavenly voice, Sandra (also Karen Black), billed as an “oddity of nature,” is the carnival’s premier attraction. Yearning for a way out, Jimmy befriends Sandra, unaware that her imprisonment and degradation, at the hands of Frank (also Mike Patton), the carnival owner, mirrors his own. Sandra, taken by his innocence, finds her own inner strength and suppressed dreams. When David disappears, the metaphorical white-picket fences collapse, leaving raw emotions exposed.

Alors que l'on célèbre le mariage de son fils William, Edward Bloom raconte, pour la énième fois, mais avec talent, comment, le jour de la naissance de Will, il a attrapé un énorme poisson en utilisant comme appât sa propre alliance. Will est embarrassé et explique à son épouse, Joséphine, qu'à cause des mensonges que raconte son père sur tous les sujets, il ne peut lui faire confiance. Par la suite, les relations entre le père et le fils deviennent si tendues qu'ils ne se parlent pas durant trois ans. Mais, quand il apprend que son père est mourant, Will vient le voir en compagnie de Joséphine, enceinte. Dans l'avion qui le mène en Alabama, Will se remémore une histoire de son père où il prétendait qu'étant enfant il s'était aventuré dans un marais et avait rencontré une sorcière qui lui avait dévoilé l'instant de sa mort dans son œil de verre.
