Publisher's Synopsis
The teenagers of Cradle Bay are perfect children; no drink, no drugs, just honest, wholesome behaviour. Steve (James Marsden) is a new kid in town, and together with outcasts Gavin (Nick Stahl) and Rachel (Katie Holmes), he discovers the secret behind the seemingly idyllic community: a surgical operation is performed on the teens to render them passive and submissive, and Steve's parents seem convinced that it's a good idea.
