Herrington High is not your typical American school. Its walls are graffitied, its guards are armed, its students are pierced and its teachers are brain-dead. Literally. But whoever said being a teenager was easy. Like teenagers everywhere, they struggle with parents who don't get it, teachers who never had it and hormones that want it. But the loners, leaders, ferals, geeks, brains and jocks that make up Herrington's finest, are about to come face to face with something more soul destroying than acne and raging libidos. They're about to discover what planet their teachers are really from. Cracking with the nightmarish paranoia and hysteria of such classics as Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Alien & The Thing, THE FACULTY drags sci-fi fans kicking and screaming into the 90s - where a new generation of fear and loathing waits. We always knew school was a worry, but we didn't know it was deadly.
