A dark survival thriller built on paranoia and betrayal, where children trapped in a deceptive sanctuary must outwit their captors to escape a sinister fate.

A number of children are being well fed, taken care of, and pampered at a very meticulate and managed orphanage. The facility and grounds are impressive, but the wall acting as a barrier is high. There is a secret to the place and once revealed to several orphans, they're desperate to escape.
