A Black teen in dystopian Boston works sealing cracks which open underneath the city, threatening to swallow it whole. During one shift, he sees through a black-hole-type crack to an alternate reality in which his queer desire is fully realized.

A group of young Black women known as the "Furious Girls" are ostracized by their town because of their often destructive ability to create fire. However, when a natural disaster looms over the town, the girls must return to save the people they love.
