Riverdale Institute

Growing up amid the toxicity of Novosibirsk, Misha's downfall feels inevitable-becoming everything he once despised: his father's violence and his mother's addiction. They said he was crazy - that he was a lost cause. But it wasn't far from the truth. Because Schizophrenia blurred the lines of reality and delusion, and BPD caused instability that he couldn't control.

All it took was one visit at the therapist in his school, and before he knew it, he was on the next flight halfway across the globe - America.

Tucked away in the outskirts of Oregon, Riverdale Institute is a home for boys who carry unseen scars. Behind its quiet walls, tension hums, alliances form, and secrets fester. It is a place of refuge and reckoning, where pasts haunt every corridor, and the path to healing is as fragile as it is uncertain.

six boys, six pasts, and one future together.
