At Bethel Woods Orphanage, the fifty-three children of the year-six class have just inherited a secret: for one hour a day, for the year, they have free run of a hidden gymnasium. The rules are simple: no one but the fifty-three of them may enter, no foreign objects may be brought into the gym, and staying in the gym even a second beyond the allotted time will result in a breach of contract. And when the contract is breached, they lose the gym.
