SIGNAL 100
de Lisa Takeba
Synopsis
A group of high school students succumb to a teachers’ hypnotic spell that punishes behaviors like being late to class or using cell phones by making them commit suicide. The only way to survive her incantation is to know exactly what can’t be done. Can the students keep it together long enough to find a way to break the spell? Or will the insanity turn them all against each other?
