Their wealthy parents forced them into an old insane asylum for a therapy program for troubled teens. The people running it weren't who they thought they were.
The Mendukiah Lunatic Asylum was closed after the discovery of severe and unorthodox abuse of people in their care. Years later, the family reopened the building and offered a healing program for afflicted youths. Known as The Sinner Program, it guaranteed a complete cure for its patients' so-called "sins". After his parents enrolled him for smoking pot, Toby met the girl of his dreams, Millie, whose mother committed her after being caught stealing for the third time. They made friends with three other Layla, a promiscuous young lady; Dwayne, a gambling addict; and the youngest of the group, Connor, an alleged pyromaniac. They vowed to remain together for their two-week stay. It ran smoothly at the beginning, until teens disappeared for hours—sometimes days—and returned in wheelchairs in vegetative states. After gaining consciousness, they were different people, cured of the ailment their family sent them to the program for. Panic ensued. But their fears escalated as security dragged Dwayne away from them. Desperate to rescue their friend, the four of them concocted a plan to find him. What they discovered was far worse than they imagined.
The story was original and very interesting! I started the story and read it in a few hours! The creepy asylum, the people running it, and the history, helped my imagination paint a picture as I was reading. I could see this book as a movie!
