Opis

A young 11 year old boy by the name of Josiah is brought to a privately owned asylum by his mother. She betrays and abandons him giving over his life to Miss Dottie, a cruel ruthless woman and her cronies. Josiah soon learns that rule breaking brings about great punishment and torture for anyone who breaks them. Soon he finds a friend in another young boy named Charlie who has also been abandoned by his parents. Soon Josiah learns of the man they call "Jack" who is a patient allowed to steal children from the ward to have his way and murder them. Charlie falls victim to this man leaving Josiah to wonder what had happened to his friend. Other children come and go being sold into prostitution and murdered by the Sam and Bill who are the task masters of the asylum. Young girls and boys must endure torture by receiving the supposed treatments by unlicensed doctors leaving them often bloody and battered. One day a young girl arrives on the ward named Sarah. Josiah protects and cares for her but soon he is murdered leaving her to fend for herself. Inspections of the facility by the governor's office soon bring relief to the children of the asylum with Angeline Taylor as their blessing from God. Murdered herself she remains with Josiah to discover the truth and help him finally bring this hellish nightmare to a close.
