After her father’s death when she was just a kid, Kit Gordy grew up as a disturbed teenager, with obvious disgust toward her mother Ginny and stepfather Dave. Called in the high school director’s office where she learns and accused of a failed attempt to fire the building, Kit is expelled from high school, but Dr. Heather Sinclair, a member of Blackwood’s staff, proposes to join them the following year. Ginny enters Kit in spite of her will in the desperate attempt to bring her on the right path, but the boarding school is at the edge of the city in a dense forest. Being trapped in a place without phones, the internet or any other modern technology, Kit sees how everything changes in a strange way.
