Sink or Burn

By Cristy Road Carrera

A Punk Rock Love Story of Resistance, Revolution, and Resilience in a Dystopian Future

In Sink Or Burn, the year is 2121, and fascism has overthrown a once-thriving utopia. Amid the ashes of a fallen nation, Cheap Glitter--a queer, punk rock band--becomes the voice of resistance. As they tour across a fractured America, raising funds for the fight against a brutal regime, they navigate wildfires, sunken landscapes, and the terrifying laws of a collapsing society.

At the heart of their journey is CT, a lovelorn survivor whose romantic entanglement with a fellow bandmate--a survivor of a different war--complicates their quest for both personal healing and social revolution. As the band balances the weight of trauma with the urgency of their fight, they discover that love, however chaotic, may be their greatest weapon.

A punk rock anthem and a manifesto for the broken-hearted, Sink Or Burn tells the story of a tortured artist's evolution into a divine healer. Cristy Road Carrera, a punk rock icon and Latinx artist, weaves together individual survival with the broader struggle for liberation.
