Behind the gates of a prominent high school, hidden by trees and overgrown shrubbery, lies a secret. The curious Nathan Groves, accompanied by his pair of rebellious redhead friends, travels to this den of mystery. They attend the high school, a peculiar institution, where the grounds reek of untold horrors. Mystery turns to chaos when Nathan befriends an orphan named Paul Phillips. The school’s dark and sinister history begins to unravel before Nathan’s eyes. Miles from home, trapped in the embrace of an exotic land, he finds himself determined to save his new friend and ultimately, an entire orphan population. An unlikely army rallies behind Nathan: a group of diverse classmates and a particularly forgetful man. Blindly, they advance into the dark corridors of an age-old secret. Little do they know, however, of the danger that awaits them.
