But when Adam, the class loner and all-round oddball, snaps in class one afternoon and later tries to commit suicide, it sets off a chain-reaction of events that thrust The Class into a downward spiral of deception, greed, paranoia and murder. As each student discovers the inevitable allure of absolute power, The Class will find new heroes, new villains, and a future that only one of them can predict.
Based on the short story 'The Eighth Day', 'The Class' is a dark tale of modern morality, loyalty, deceit, heroism and the blurred line between Good and Evil.
