## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Reformatory yard. Bleak sun. A baseball, blood-red.

Jubeh Yakyu arrives, his past a legend of violence, his future forfeit. The Pterodactyl Juvenile Reformatory teems with brutal inmates and a Nazi-fetishist headmistress, all eager to break him.

Yamaguchi’s splatterpunk farce is not for purists.

**Mood tags**: 3am-cult, raw, unhinged
