Until recently, twelve-year-old Luke Ellis had a completely familiar life: school, dinners with his parents in his favorite pizzeria, evenings in the company of his best friend. Until one June morning he wakes up in his own room, but there are no windows in it and she is in a place carefully hidden from the whole world called "Institute." Here, over children kidnapped from different cities, possessing the gift of telepathy or telekinesis, cruel experiments are carried out in order to maximize their paranormal abilities. It is impossible to run. The future is predetermined, and this future is the mysterious Far Half of the Institute, from where no one has yet returned.
