Boot Camp

In a stunningly remote corner of Fiji, a rehabilitation program promises parents a state‑of‑the‑art sanctuary for their wayward children, yet the island’s pristine beauty masks an unsettling rigidity. The facility is enclosed not by fences but by an endless ocean, and every teenager wears an ankle cuff that silently tracks their movements. The daily routine is a blend of disciplined drills and carefully staged comforts, creating a disorienting contrast that keeps the youths perpetually on edge, never quite sure whether they are in a luxury retreat or something far more constraining.

At the heart of the story is Sophie, a sharp‑tongued teen whose defiant spark quickly draws the attention of the camp’s stern overseer, Dr. Hail. Alongside her are a handful of other misfits: Ben, whose quiet resolve hints at deeper layers; Danny, whose anxiety about the program’s demands is palpable; and Trina, whose guardedness suggests a fragile interior. The staff, led by the imposing Dr. Hail, maintain an atmosphere of controlled tension, while a charismatic peer, Logan, seems to navigate the power structures with unsettling ease.

As the weeks unfold, the fragile camaraderie among the teenagers begins to crack under the weight of the camp’s relentless pressures. Subtle alliances form, doubts surface, and the distant horizon of the sea becomes a silent promise of something beyond the regimented walls. The tone swirls between stark, almost clinical observation and the raw, uneasy energy of youthful rebellion, inviting the audience to wonder how far these teens will push against a system that blurs the line between care and confinement.
