The last Reserve

The students of an unnamed school find themselves greatly reduced in number and without their class tutor after an unfortunate glitch in the smart system of a school appliance has beamed the latter into (cyber)space. The stranded group quickly realises that it was the newly installed smart bin designed by their very own teacher that caused the disappearance of their fellow classmates.

However, they do not know how to prevent the recycling machine from claiming a new victim each night, beaming them into a fearful jungle landscape populated by vengeful wild animals that seem to seek revenge on those who have caused the pollution of their once pristine habitat.

Trapped in their classroom which seems to be filling up with the trash they had once thoughtlessly discarded, the disgruntled crew of tweens must find a way to free themselves and their madcap teacher before they run out of cafeteria provisions.
