CBS is ready to unleash a reality take on "Lord of the Flies," quietly wrapping filming on a new skein in which a group of 8- to 15-year-olds will create their own society.

Rather than surviving on an island, the kiddies relocated to Bonanza City, N.M., a ghost town abandoned more than a century ago.

Goal for the kids is to build a functional society. They have to pass laws, choose leaders and build an economy.

Unlike most reality shows, there will be no mandated eliminations. Kids can go home when they want to.
