Yakusoku no Neverland Synopsis

Life couldn’t be better for the orphans at Grace Field House. Together with the other children and a friendly “mother” who takes care of them, they make a big, happy family. No child is ever overlooked, especially since everyone is adopted by the age of 12. Their daily life involves rigorous tests, but after that they are allowed to play outside.

There is only one rule to follow: do not leave the orphanage. But one day two high-profile orphans, Emma and Norman, venture through the door and discover the terrible reality behind their entire existence: They are all cattle, and their orphanage is a farm that grows food for a mysterious race of demons. With little time to complete an escape plan, the children must somehow change their fate.
