Inhaltsangabe

In the chilling dystopian thriller The Curve, Leo Castellano and a small group of defiant students at an elite, high-pressure academy discover that their school's obsession with "optimization" hides a terrifying, cosmic truth. At this institution, academic excellence isn't just a goal-it is a mandatory pruning process designed to erase individuality and harvest the human spirit. As Leo watches his classmates transform into "hollow shells" of their former selves, he uncovers a hidden network in the basement that pulses with a thrumming energy spanning galaxies, suggesting that the faculty are not mere educators but gardeners tending to a human crop for an extraterrestrial or interdimensional force. Led by the unsettlingly perfect Ms. Harlow, the school systematically eliminates "weeds"-those who resist or fail to fit the desired mold-through a process known as erasure. Leo, Ashley, David, and a handful of survivors find themselves in a desperate psychological and physical battle for their own humanity, realizing that while they are vastly outmatched by a network that treats people as mere components, the act of resistance is the only thing that keeps them from falling into the perfection of the void.
