 This is for your own good.  How many times have you heard that but were not sure that it was true?  Parents tend to say that when they know something unpleasant is about to happen.  But what if your parents hire people to kidnap you and send you to boot camp?  I've seen reports about these places on television.  They are touted as being the answer to unruly teens.  That's what happens to Garrett.  Now, Garrett is not a bad kid.  He's a rich kid who is a bit spoiled.  And he is dating his teacher.  But it's not like he's in a gang or failing school or anything.  But his parents don't like his choice of girlfriend so they sign him up for Lake Harmony.  They've done their research and are sure this is for Garrett's own good.  What they don't know is what really goes on behind the walls of Lake Harmony.
