Description

It's an average Saturday in 1985 in the sleepy little town of Sherville, IL. Five students of Southbrook High: a geek, a jock, a goth, a cheerleader, and a rebel, have been sentenced to Saturday detention. These unlikely companions are forced together by their formerly friendly prinicipal, who has recently and inexplicably become cruel and greedy. The rest of the high school is somberly empty, except for the janitor, quietly doing his job.

Soon these seven Sherville residents are going to have more to deal with more than the average horrors of suburban high school and 80's fashions. Strange things have been going on recently in Southbrook High and the surrounding town. The head cheerleader has a college boyfriend that no one's ever seen, the football team has broken five state records in the past week, and the principal has declared attendance to tonight's school dance mandatory. Even worse, the police still have no leads on The Leech; the serial killer who drains his victims of their blood.

This expectedly boring Saturday just might be the time for everything to come to a head. Because, in life, sometimes you’re connected to more people than you think. Sometimes, you're not the only one with a secret. And, sometimes, the strangest things happen in the most normal of places.

Science fiction and cinema fans alike: Come play in this tribute to John Hughes' cult classic, The Breakfast Club. We've retained the setting and underlying themes of the movie, but we've given it a sci-fi make-over. John explored the stereotypes of high school, leaving us to explore the stereotypes of the sci-fi world.

Don't you forget about me...
