Plot



After his father dies, Donald Wallace (Finn Cole), a teenager from a working-class family, enrolls in an exclusive public school called Slaughterhouse, where he struggles to fit in. The school houses a few secrets, such as the recent suicide of a pupil last term, mysterious disappearances, an overzealous house prefect who descends from a long line of war criminals, and an enigmatic new sinkhole, caused by the Headmasters (Michael Sheen) money-making scheme: fracking. Aggressive subterranean creatures emerge from the sinkhole and start attacking members of the faculty. Wallace then rallies a group of pupils to fight the monsters. The film ends with the monsters' defeat, the explosion of the school, and the remaining students walking away. Meanwhile, the Headmaster's dog, and Meredith, who survived the attack, witness the school's destruction.
