Sally, 17, is locked up at Teenland. A prison-like institution for teens, who are so fucked emotionally, that they have developed supernatural powers. The institutions' mission is to normalize the misfit teens and Sally accepts the premise that she is sick and abnormal. Everything changes when Sally encounters power sociopath Ting-e-ling, who convinces Sally that she must use her skills and dare to loose control.
