The Reformatory is a historical horror that blends literary and horror fiction. Set in Jim Crow-era Florida, it follows 12-year-old Robert Stephens Jr. as he's sentenced to six months at the segregated Gracetown School for Boys, a fictionalized version of the real-life Dozier School for Boys. The school is haunted by the ghosts of boys who died there, including in a mysterious fire 30 years earlier.
