When a young man takes a vacant teaching spot at a British public school he quickly learns he may have gotten into more than he expected. The upper class schoolboys, intent on scholarships, threaten the teacher with harm if he doesn't do as they wish. However, after a few incidents in which the teacher appears to have proven his point the boys abruptly ask for his help to find a missing classmate. Societal roles, herd mentality and fear are present in this taut drama that rapidly escalates to a tense conclusion.
