In a tranquil suburb, a horrific crime sets off a sinister chain of events. Luke Ellis' world is shattered when intruders murder his parents and abduct him. Awakening in 'The Institute,' he finds himself among other children with extraordinary talents—telekinesis, telepathy—imprisoned by an organization with dark intentions. Banding together, these children face the cruel Director, Mrs. Sigsby, who is hell-bent on exploiting their gifts. Time is against them; the dangers of the 'Back Half' loom, where no child has returned. The stakes are high, and escape seems impossible, but Luke's arrival might change everything. Stephen King's 'The Institute' is a harrowing journey of courage and the indomitable human spirit, painted against a backdrop of unfathomable evil.
