Surrounded by a dense forest and secured behind a tall gated entrance, Grace Field House appears to be a peaceful haven for orphans. The children residing there live together harmoniously, forming what seems like a close-knit family. Their caregiver, known as "Mama," Isabella, is responsible for their well-being and supervision. The children are encouraged to enjoy their childhood, spending their days playing outside and engaging in various activities. Despite their apparent freedom, they are instructed to stay within the boundaries of the orphanage grounds and follow strict rules designed to maintain order.
Although the children are given autonomy during their daily routines, a routine imposed by the orphanage dictates their every move. They are required to take daily tests, which serve a purpose beyond simple academic assessment. These tests are part of a carefully orchestrated regimen that ensures the children meet certain standards. The atmosphere at Grace Field House seems idyllic; however, there is an underlying sense of structure that hints at something more sinister. The children generally trust their environment, unaware of the dark secrets that lurk beneath the surface.
Every few months, a new development occurs—an adoption day that marks a significant change for the children involved. One by one, children are called to leave the orphanage with their new families. The children are led to believe they are being chosen for a better life beyond the gates of Grace Field, but in reality, their departure signifies something far more frightening. Once adopted, they vanish from the orphanage’s grounds, and no one is seen or heard from them again. This mysterious disappearance raises questions in the minds of some children, but most accept it as an inevitable part of life at Grace Field.
Among the children, the three oldest siblings—Emma, Norman, and Ray—begin to harbor suspicions about what truly happens during these adoptions. Their curiosity grows as they notice inconsistencies and secretive behaviors among the staff and Mama. Determined to uncover the truth, they start to investigate the true nature of their living situation. Their curiosity and courage threaten the facade of safety and normalcy maintained by the orphanage’s authorities.
As their investigation deepens, the children uncover a chilling reality: Grace Field House is not just an orphanage but a facility involved in a dark and twisted operation. The true fate awaiting the children is far from a loving home; it involves sinister plans and unimaginable cruelty. The revelation puts the siblings’ lives at risk as they confront the horrifying truth about Isabella and the entire operation. Their bravery becomes a vital element in their desperate attempt to escape and expose the dark secrets of Grace Field House to the outside world.
