“Burn Down, Rise Up” is the story of Raquel, a queer Afro-Latinx teen from the Bronx, where disappearances keep happening. When her mom comes down with a mysterious illness and her crush Charlize’s cousin goes missing, they must journey to a sinister underworld and play the Echo Game -- a game whose rules are based on a dark chapter in New York’s history. If Raquel and Charlize want to save their home and loved ones, they must play the game or die trying.
