|---|
"A group of privileged teenagers who live in a gated community are provided with everything that their parents reckon they should have. One day though, the kids go on the rampage, kill all the adults, and disappear. The police officer investigating the incident discovers that the kids reacted against what he comes to consider as sensory deprivation. A young girl, left behind by the others, is his best hope of smoking the others out. But they mount a rescue mission to snatch her from a secured hospital…"
Charles Smyth, Resident Scholar
