Kids strapped to gurneys and wheeled around, sinister scientists taking them from classes never to return, and an world outside that is both out of bounds and dangerous.

Inevitably, they have to break out of their fortress, and this is where ‘The Girl with All The Gifts starts to fizz into different territory as the hunter and the hunted roles start to merge.
