For sixteen-year-old Dan Crawford, a gifted summer program for students is the chance of a lifetime. No one else at her school understands her strange fascination with history and science, but within the College of New Hampshire preparatory program, these eccentricities are practically a prerequisite. Upon his arrival, Dan learns that the usual summer residence has closed, leaving the students to remain in a crumbling building, Brookline - a former mental hospital. As Dan and his two new friends, Abby and Jordan, explore the winding hallways and hidden basement of Brookline, they uncover disturbing secrets about the events that took place within its walls ... Secrets that bind Dan and his friends to the past dark asylum. Because Brookline was no ordinary mental hospital. And some refuse to remain buried.
