Synopsis

"Its memorable cast of characters, rendered with such energy and compassion seem to hum with life." Big Issue

As we got closer I could see behind the sandstone a curved concrete building: a purpose-built structure. But still no fence, no wire. Not a bar in sight. For this, I d been told that morning, I should be grateful. This was a lifeline a last chance . That is what the judge said.

Daniel is a sixteen-year-old drug dealer and he is going to jail.

Then he s not.

A courtroom intervention. A long car ride to a deluxe outback facility. Other gifted delinquents .

Where are they?

It s not a jail.

It s not a psych unit.

It s not like any school he s ever seen.

He is sure he and the others are part of an experiment. But he doesn t know who s running it or what they are trying to prove. And he has no idea what the next seven months are going to do to him.
