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.
