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.
