Plot summary

The Élan School operated as a private, for-profit therapeutic boarding school deep in the Maine woods. Teenagers who had not responded to other treatment programs were sent there as a place of last resort. Its methods relied on rigid rules, constant watching, degradation, and abuse. Former students describe a controversial therapy that some recall as crushing. Many who were confined there still carry trauma from the experience, and their opinions are mixed. A few believe the school offered some real help, while others say it did lasting harm. The documentary gathers their firsthand accounts of daily life inside the facility.
