The Obedience Strain

In the wake of a controversial university mandate, a group of outcast students who refused the sanctioned gene-therapy injection are recruited by a charismatic psychology professor for a study on social resilience. The experiment, designed to measure obedience under hierarchy, spirals into a series of ritualistic killings. Each victim is a soul the institution rejected long before the first drop of blood was spilled. As the surviving participants realize they are being reshaped into a obedient collective, one former law student uncovers the horrifying truth: the experiment was never about observation—it was a blueprint for a purge. Can he rewrite his own fate from the ashes of the carnage?
