Uma (Emma Roberts) vågner op på Paradise Hills uden nogen anelse om, hvordan hun er havnet der. Det er en fornem skole lokaliseret på en afsidesliggende ø, men det er ikke en almindelig skole. Formålet med Paradise Hills er at få piger, der ikke opfører sig korrekt, til at lære at makke ret. Omas "forbrydelse" er åbenbart, at hun har nægtet at gifte sig med dén mand, hendes familie har udvalgt. På skolen møder hun andre piger, der også har modsat sig dette mystiske samfunds befalinger. Heldigvis er Paradise Hills designet til at slå den slags oprør ned. Men hvordan? Det viser sig snart, at skolen gemmer på en grusom hemmelighed.
