[edit] Plot

What if a student did not like the idea of school and authority and they thought it was prison? Well Maddox tests this theory and tests the boundaries of authority. A few years before, John Stanton was committed to an insane asylum, reasons unknown to most everybody. One day he escapes, releasing everyone else from the asylums around. Maddox wants to 'help him,' so they start a correspondence and Stanton tells him what to do. Maddox challenges authority and gets most of the school behind him, including an administrator. Disorder arises and chaos ensues. Eventually his plan falls apart and everyone turns against him.
