About this movie

Brad Lunders is a teenager forcefully abducted from his home in the middle of the night to a harsh wilderness reform facility, with his mother’s consent. There is no contact with the outside world and the retired war colonel in charge prides himself on breaking an inmate’s spirit in order to correct delinquent behaviour. As we learn of the tragic events that led to Brad’s arrival, unforeseen circumstances threaten to tear the already failing reform facility apart. This forces Brad to confront not only his fellow inmates and the personnel in charge, but finally his own sense of what is right and wrong. Based on true events.
