Magnus Kroft is chosen to attend an exclusive boarding school
called the Institute established to develop the various talents of
exceptional high school students. A serious student of ballet,
Magnus is hopeful about escaping the oppressive, bullying high
school environment of his Gulf Coast hometown to concentrate on his
true love of dance. At the institute, Magnus quickly makes a new
set of friends, friends he quickly learns share the same secret
that he has been hiding--all are gay-or at least gay-ish as his
friend Tommie would say. The Institute is high school with a
twist-- a place where Tommie has to hide the fact that he's
straight or else he'd be kicked out. Tommie's girlfriend, Allison,
is a tennis player who pretends to be with Gayle, a talented
cellist and proud dyke. Tommie's best friend is Kieran, an
exceptionally talented pianist and presumed leader of the Tribe as
this group of friends likes to refer to themselves. Magnus quickly
captures Kieran's eye and must learn to cope with a blossoming
first love. With the help of the Tribes computer nerd, Sammy, they
discover the real reason for the Institute's existence and its
interest in gay teens. As they each try to find themselves and
define their various relationships, they soon find themselves the
subjects of a deadly experiment. Their safe haven quickly becomes a
prison of terrors they never dreamed of-a place where the only way
out is death.
