In a small, seemingly idyllic town in the United States, a group of teenagers begins to notice something strange at their high school. Everything seems normal at first, but when a new student, a boy named Steve, arrives and joins a group of misfits, he will soon uncover a dark secret lurking among his peers. The students, initially bright and full of life, start displaying uncontrolled and alarming behaviors after being subjected to a secret mind control experiment conducted by the school.
Steve, along with his new friend, the rebellious and charismatic Rachel, teams up with a group of friends determined to discover what is happening. With every step they take, they find out that the school administration and a mysterious re-education program are manipulating the kids' minds to turn them into "model citizens." As they unravel the mystery, the danger becomes increasingly imminent; some of their friends begin to disappear or turn into terrifying versions of themselves.
Tension rises, and the struggle for survival turns into a battle against a terrifying system that is determined to control everything that moves in the town. As they try to escape the dreadful fate that awaits them, they must confront not only their internal demons but also those who seek to crush them to maintain order.
