![]() ![]() The four most serious offences – trying to escape, violent fighting, refusing punishments or having sex – will get you sent to detention, which as far as anyone knows means death. Break the rules and you suffer punishments like being starved for two days. Keep in line and you can earn comforts and luxuries. It’s a volatile little society that’s held together by peer pressure and fear, and functions on rewards and punishments. Students who don’t agree with either of those groups and who still dream of escape can join the V’s – the Variants – which is where Benson naturally ends up. Havoc just wants to be powerful and menacing. ![]() The most powerful gang, The Society, thinks the best way to deal with the school is to play by the rules. The school’s services and maintenance are all taken care of by the students, who have organised themselves into gangs with specific outlooks and responsibilities. They’re watched constantly by cameras and bound by endless rules. Students are not allowed to leave or communicate with anyone on the outside. But when Benson arrives at the school he learns that it’s a trap. At 17, he applies for a scholarship to the prestigious Maxfield Academy in the hope of a better life.
