The Institute

Five students stepped in front of a train. Only one came back. But what happened on the platform was just the beginning.

A chilling speculative thriller about the sole survivor of a group death, trapped inside a sinister institute where the doctors may be more dangerous than the diagnosis.

The Sanctuary meets Shutter Island in this chilling speculative thriller from the acclaimed author of The Sisterhood.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER.
SOME FLY TO THEIR DEATHS.

A group of students step off a platform into the path of an oncoming train.

Only Billie survives.

She remembers nothing.
But she knows they weren’t suicidal.

At the secretive Arbor Institute, Billie is diagnosed with ‘flock phenomena’: a terrifying impulse to self-destruct with the group.

If it happens again, she’ll die.

Cut off from the world, watched at every turn, Billie begins to understand the truth:

The Institute isn’t trying to cure her.

It’s trying to contain her.

But Billie isn’t prey.

She’s the threat.
