Plot Overview
Set in 1958, Alex (Luis de La Rosa) is a troubled 12-year-old boy sent to an isolated, strict boarding school located deep in the Mexican countryside. The institution is run by a tyrannical Headmaster (Mauricio García Lozano) who enforces absolute discipline through fear and punishment.
Alex forms a close-knit group of friends with fellow outcast students. Together, they discover hidden tunnels beneath the school grounds and plan a dangerous escape. However, as they explore the restricted areas of the estate, they uncover sinister secrets about the headmaster and notice that students who rebel mysteriously disappear without a trace.
Realizing they are in extreme danger, the group must work together to execute their escape plan before the headmaster discovers their secret operation.
