Some heads must fall so others may rise.
When talented Charlie Campbell is forced to attend elite St. Oswald's College for his final year, he discovers the Gothic institution's pristine reputation masks a savage reality. Behind the ancient stone walls, a corrupt hierarchy enforces its will through brutality while staff look away.
Targeted by the cruel son of a powerful board member, Charlie finds himself fighting not just for dignity, but survival. His only allies: a roommate with divided loyalties, a progressive teacher swimming against the tide, and Libby - a kindred spirit whose growing closeness to Charlie makes her a target too.
As violence escalates from humiliation to assault to death, Charlie realises the school doesn't just harbour monsters - it creates them. When he stands against the system, the full institutional machine turns against him, manipulating evidence and warping truth.
But in a world before camera phones, Charlie has captured everything - and his father holds the detonator to an explosive truth.
Inspired by true events and infused with mythic undertones, Orphicum explores how far institutions will go to protect their image, and how a single voice can shatter decades of silence.
