There's a trio of characters with similar names: Mick, Veronica, and Nico. Mick lives with her indifferent-at-best mom. She has one good friend, Liz, a fellow swimmer, who drags Mick to parties, hoping that Mick will finally have someone other than Liz to hang out with. At one such party, she meets Veronica, a girl from another high school. Veronica is an aspiring photographer, and Mick, whose mom is a model/cater-waiter is aspiring not to ever have her picture taken. Thus, a push/pull romance is born.

Veronica knows about Mick's aversion to photography, but Mick is so photogenic, she can't help herself. After a consent-related blow-up, Mick ends up on the driver's end of the camera with Veronica's friend Nico, an installation artist/eco-terrorist. There's a lot of Veronica and Mick back and forth and Nico always ready to step in and lend a hand. Danger ensues.

Burn is a thriller with nuanced (sometimes unlikeable) narrators that you may still feel unsure about in the end. But is it the end? The ending isn't very endy.
