Mike's a 14 year old boy who has no friends, and his parents were always away. One day, his parents decided to sent him away to boarding school in Montgomery, Alabama. Surely, he did not wish to go but he had no other choice. One semester before, they went over to the school to register in Mike's name before the next fall starts. 'MILTON'S BOARDING SCHOOL,' was the name of Mike's new school. Mike made new friends there, Ricky, a tall, thin blonde nerd and Hannah, a black haired girl who likes looking for trouble. The first day he was there, he noticed that the school was a bit strange and spooky. Behind the school, there was an old abandoned clock tower and nobody has been there for decades. One night, the bell from the clock tower chimed and things started to get eerie. What's the history behind the clock tower? Why is it hunting Mike and his friends only? Is it up to them to solve the mystery?
