Chinese Summary/中文概要： 芬蘭暢銷青少年小說！
十二歲的Storm並不是很乖，但也不是太調皮的孩子，他的繼母認為只要把他送到「前途學校」(The School of Possibilities)後，日後一定能成為人人稱讚的小孩。
Storm一到學校後，就被禁止和之前的朋友聯繫，另外校方為了怕他不熟悉新環境，指派男同學Will成為他的「好朋友」以及安排Bridget成為他的「女朋友」（其實是懲罰的一種），從此這兩人就如影隨形的跟在Strom身邊。
在學校裡Storm發現所有的學生都非常聽從師長及學校的規定，每個人就像統一訂製的「機器人」一樣，而他也漸漸的開始感到無聊，直到他認識India等一群企圖逃離學校的「壞學生」後，此時，關於這「優良學校」隱藏已久的秘密才在慢慢的浮現出來…一個幽暗的地下室、一堆詭異的面具…(VL)
