The plot centers around Luke Ellis whose parents are murdered in the middle of the night by intruders. Luke wakes up at The Institute in a room that looks just like his own, except there's no window. Outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talents, such as telekinesis and telepathy, who got there the same way Luke did.

This eight-episode adaptation of the Stephen King novel is a brilliant, intense, and mildly brutal psychological thriller. The show follows psychic kids tortured in a sinister facility, maintaining a compelling, high-stakes pace. While the series sacrifices the novel's complex moral grayness for more commercial, black-and-white villains, the performances, especially from the lead child actor, are superb. It’s an excellent, disturbing watch that will keep your heart rate up until the very last minute.
