Inhaltsangabe

A group of teenagers, facing prison time for various crimes, are instead “rescued” from the legal system and given the opportunity to attend a special school. But the ‘school’ is an isolated rural house and lessons are more than a little unusual. A haunting exploration of incarceration, social engineering and the crimes adults commit against children.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Daniel is a 16-year-old drug dealer, and he’s going to jail. Then, suddenly, he’s not. A courtroom intervention. A ‘lifeline’; a ‘last chance’ and a long car ride to a big country house. Other ‘gifted delinquents’. Where are they? It’s not a school, despite the ‘lessons’ with the headsets and changing images. It’s not a psych unit—not if the absence of medication means anything. It’s not a jail, because Daniel’s free to leave. Or that’s what they tell him. He knows he’s part of an experiment. But he doesn’t know who’s running it or what they’re trying to prove. And he has no idea what they’re doing to him.
