Synopsis

The Baudelaire orphans are sent to Prufrock Preparatory School, a dismal boarding school where the motto literally warns them of their own mortality. Forced to live in a fungus-filled shack and endure grueling punishments, the siblings must stay alert as Count Olaf lurks nearby in a new disguise. It is a grim chapter in their lives that introduces them to new friends who share their unfortunate circumstances.
