After risking her life to expose the corruption of the thinning test, Laina Michaels becomes the target of Governor Redding’s Machiavellian presidential campaign. Blake Redding, trapped and enslaved in a secret underground work camp, must fight to reconnect with Ellie, his presumably dead girlfriend, and do what no failed student has done before: escape.
“The Thinning” takes place in a post-apocalyptic future where population control is dictated by a high-school aptitude test. When two students (Logan Paul and Peyton List) discover the test is smoke and mirrors hiding a larger conspiracy, they must fight the system to expose it and take it down.
