Based on true events. Having recently suffered the unexpected death of his father, seventeen-year-old Andrew Eriksen’s inability to cope with the loss catapults him down a path of denial, self-loathing and emotional entropy. Once a promising young scholar, Andrew finds himself on a drug-addled path to self-destruction. Resentful of his mother (Diane Venora) for her own drug addiction, Andrew withdraws even further at a time when they need each other most. His mother’s last resort is to hire a private company that kidnaps troubled teens and places them in a locked-down and corrupt psychiatric hospital. After being subjected to the secret physical and emotional abuses of the program, Andrew discovers the only way he will come to terms with the death of his father is to first face his own demons head-on.
