A school is a place for learning, but for disgruntled history teacher Dan Starney it's also a place to recruit his best students. His sights are set on restoring liberty where he sees it has been stripped away by an ever-growing government, and Dan looks for the best and brightest to join him in his attempt to correct the problem. His planning didn't include being drawn into a school controversy, though, and when the school thrusts him into the spotlight, his careful plotting starts to go astray. Karena Walsh, another teacher at the same school realizes that Dan may be attempting something unethical, and she takes it upon herself to secretly investigate. Her feelings toward Dan begin to change, catching her off guard. As the school controversy heats up, Dan and Karena are both forced into decisions that neither one wants to make.
