Sixteen year old Valerie has been told she is crazy almost her whole life. For thirteen years of her life she has lived in an asylum along with about fifty other kids.  None of these kids have become adults and turned 18 yet, although some are close. When Val's best friend, Diana is taken by their 'Caretakers' a month before her 18th birthday, she knows something is up. She gathers her five remaining friends and they escape to find and save Diana. Only, they have not set a foot outside of the asylum in thirteen years.  They don't know how the world works. They soon realize that maybe they are not crazy. Maybe there is a different reason they were in the asylum.  On top of that, who knows when the Caretakers will catch up to them and drag them back to the asylum.
