Set: None.

At a detention camp and reform institution for internet-addicted and online-obsessed teenagers, a revolution is brewing. Forced to make small talk and forbidden from all electronics, the inmates are miserable -- Brendon and Beatrice can't follow soccer stats, Fiona can't kick butt in her fantasy MMORPG, Kristina can't design ideal outfits, Sari can't immerse herself in Japanese culture, and Macayla can't overcome her shyness. When the newest addition, algebra-loving oddball Lauren, is abandoned here by her parents, she unwittingly starts a revolt against the camp General and his Minions. Now it's up to the outcasts to prove that socially awkward doesn't mean socially hopeless.
