From a music video filmed in a psychiatric hospital then released on Youtube to famous Vloggers talking about their own mental health challenges, the unspoken pain, loneliness and depression commonly experienced by a generation  the short series became a success and a good format.

The scripted format is based on true stories about four trobled teens and their journey to a secure psychiatric ward.
