Punk teen Hoss Ollinger is psychotic, but never knew it until two hulking henchmen tore him from his bed, ziptied his wrists, and hauled him to a mental institution in Happy Valley, Utah. On the outside, "Safe Haven" looks like a miracle-school for troubled teens. With an IQ of 146, though, it doesn't take long for Hoss to see "Safe Haven" institution for what it really is: a warehouse to exploit misled youth.The pampered life Hoss knew has been torn away and replaced with a vicious prison-rules melee. Gangs, bullies, psychopaths, and predators all vie for control whenever the guards heads are turned. His chance for retribution comes when he finds a decade-old anarchist's journal written by a patient known only as The Snick. With the gambits of this "Cookbook" and the help of a plucky group of underdog inmates, Hoss starts an underground mob bent on the destruction of the institution.However, as his personal wars rage, Hoss unwittingly exposes truths about the institution which make him worth more dead than alive. To survive, Hoss must turn to a vicious justice which blurs the ethics of good and evil to deliver himself from his enemies, his psychological demons, and the corrupt institution.
