Benson's new boarding school is...unusual. There are no adults; student gangs teach, cook, clean, etc., under the gaze of security cameras. And students can't leave, unless they're given "detention" (i.e., killed). When Benson discovers another of the school's menacing secrets, he knows he must escape. Readers won't be able to break away from this tense (and exceedingly violent) sci-fi thriller.
