The Lost Causes Of Bleak Creek

It's 1992 in Bleak Creek, North Carolina-a sleepy little place with all the trappings of an ordinary Southern town: two Baptist churches, friendly smiles coupled with silent judgments, and an unquenchable appetite for pork products. Beneath the town's cheerful faade, however, Bleak Creek teens live in constant fear of being sent to the Whitewood School, a local reformatory with a history of putting unruly youths back on the straight and narrow-a record so impeccable that almost everyone is willing to ignore the suspicious deaths that have occurred there over the past decade.
