Based on the way state schools for the mentally retarded were actually run, this is the story of Sage, a 16 year old girl who has just discovered that her twin sister, who she had been told was dead, was actually at Willowbrook State School, a facility for mentally ill children. Sage goes to find her sister, and she is mistaken for her twin sister, who was missing at the time. Sage experiences the horrors of being incarcerated in a State School as she fights to keep her sanity and find her sister. Because this story is based on actual conditions of State Schools in the past, the story is horrifying and heartbreaking.
