Elena and Mateo's quiet world is shattered when an ICE raid devastates their family, leaving them alone to navigate a society designed to break them. Elena, a fiercely independent teen with a secret she can't share, turns her pain into action, stepping into a turbulent world of protests and activism. She fights for LGBTQ rights, abortion access, and racial justice, each battle pulling her further from the simplicity of her old life. Mateo, younger but no less burdened, withdraws into himself, struggling to make sense of a reality where everything familiar has crumbled. His silent anger builds, as he becomes the reluctant observer of his sister's chaotic crash into adulthood. Alongside them, a ride-or-die best friend tries to stitch the pieces together, but even loyalty has limits when the world keeps tearing at the seams. As friendships strain and family bonds fracture under the weight of systemic oppression, Elena and Mateo must choose between clinging to what little remains of their shared life or finding new paths that threaten to pull them further apart. Fractured Roots* is a dark, emotional journey through resilience, resistance, and the fragile threads of hope that emerge when everything's on the line.
