After the death of his two sisters in a house fire and the arrest of his father for arson, nineteen-year-old TY Schmelling suddenly finds himself homeless and broke, unable to go to college as he’d planned. To make ends meet, he takes a job at Egret Ranch, a residential treatment facility for emotionally disturbed children in rural Mendocino County, California. Ty hopes that the facility’s atmosphere will reflect its peaceful surroundings. The truth is much darker. The Ranch’s director is a manipulative psychiatrist with personality disorders of his own. Patients and staff live in a high sexualized environment fueled by binge drinking and recreational drug use. Suspenseful and raw, Children’s Home Inc., tells the realistic story of how Ty confronts the challenges of working in an environment where the adults are as sick as the children they are supposed to be helping.
