Follows the story of a young boy who is taken to the ‘Institute’, a place full of other ‘gifted’ kids. These kids all have either telepathic or telekinetic abilities
there are different levels in this Institute. The kids don’t really know what happens in the other levels, they assume eventually you’ll be let free
they end up finding out that when you proceed to the next level, your mind slowly withers away and you eventually die
The leaders of the Institute are using these kids to harness their mental abilities in order to commit murders of high-status people (like politicians) around the world
the way it works is they show a video to the kids involving that person, and the kids all hold hands and think about it. They don’t actually know what they’re doing though.
Eventually the main character escapes and gets help and frees the kids. They also find out that there are multiple Institutes around the world.
