Netflix's Wayward follows Abbie and Leila, two best friends trying to escape Tall Pines Academy—a disciplinary boarding school in a small town—as well as Alex, a police officer who just moved to town with his wife.
Abbie is sent to Tall Pines against her will after her parents grow frustrated with her bad grades and her habit of skipping class and getting high. Leila soon joins her after a failed attempt to break Abbie out. Together, the two friends navigate the psychological torture, manipulation, and psychedelic treatment administered by the school's founder, Evelyn Wade.
