A group of boys from a prestigious Mexican private school attends an exclusive summer camp designed to that gives them physical, moral, and religious training to bring them closer to God and turn them into tomorrow’s elites – all under the disturbingly-watchful eyes of unyielding adult guardians. The discovery of a hole in the fence sets in motion a chain of disturbing events as the boys devolve into a Lord of the Flies-like mob mentality that creates and spreads hysteria in this profoundly disturbing coming-of-age drama that unravels like a horror movie while drawing on actual events.
