Using her newfound supernatural abilities, Neve investigates her own death, unearthing deeply buried secrets and forcing those around her to change, confess, or cover their tracks. As she navigates her new existence, Neve’s return also causes fractures within her own family, including her estranged father, beloved mother, and step-siblings. With a unique tone and visual style, The Rising is about love, justice, and the cost of pursuing truth in a world that wants it buried.
