For $5000, recluse Justin Ledford would do almost anything. When he's invited by the CIA to a month-long experiment in "The Henhouse," he hesitantly accepts - joined by 7 other high-schoolers from across the country. Together they're asked to complete a daily battery of tests. These seem simple, but tensions between the subjects quickly run high. As they learn to live with each other, they must also live with the out-of-sight researchers puppeteering their study- whose behaviors seem to grow more erratic by the day.
When the teens' paranoia reaches a tipping point, their only option is to find answers- learning why they've been chosen among millions... and just what this experiment was meant for.
