Tonight’s top story: While the big-box retailers scramble to stay relevant, a ghost to the machine is writing new rules for the industry...

Operating from an off-grid warehouse, the anonymous architect behind Burnt Rice brand and the Burn Syndicate has declared war on the corporate assembly line in it's entirety. Our sources confirm this solo act is handling everything from raw concept art and production to global distribution—all while staying completely off the radar and providing a safe-haven to build machines for those in his circle.

But don't look for them at your local sanitized car meet or bike night. When the welders go cold, they vanish into the real scene. The track, high-stakes races, stunts and real old school street drifting.

In a world of mass-produced slop, the Syndicate offers something the suits can’t manufacture: Authenticity. when asked in an interview what their statement was, they were quoted: "...To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, and nothing more. And have heaven on your Nav so the others aren't waiting for nothing."
