    Resistant to authority, the trio form an unbreakable bond, rejecting the institution’s rigid expectations and finding solace in their friendship. But as night falls, the island reveals its darker secrets — where reformation takes a sinister turn.

    When experimental punishments threaten to break their spirits, Nellie and Daisy plot rebellion, only to find themselves at odds with Lou, who fears the consequences of defiance. As tensions rise, the girls must choose between survival and resistance in a place designed to erase them.
