Synopsis

Schoolteacher Rick Latimer is drinking with friends in a bar when he sees his former wife dating the lawyer responsible for their divorce. Rick smashes up the lawyer's car; he is arrested and the school board sends him to the notorious Brandel High School as an alternative to being fired.

With no other option, Rick moves and finds a school dominated by gangs with students rejected from other schools. He joins the students and says no more about that situation. Chief of the security Jake Phillips believes that Rick is crazy, but soon he supports the principal's attitudes.

But drug lord Victor Duncan is not happy with the new principal and threatens to kill him.
