Dominic Atwell, a boy who finds it difficult to fit into school life.

But when he is expelled from yet another school, his parents take steps to send Dominic to a special school. A school designed to take only the most special and unique children. A school, that doesn't ask questions. A school, which will take anybody for a price: A school that offers the highest in education...a school for Apes.

What is the secret behind the doors of Hazeldene, a school where nothing is what it seems...and for Dominic nothing will be the same again.
