Nick Faulkner, a five-year English teacher looking to get tenure. Erin Quimby, a considerate divorced drama teacher with one daughter on the verge of graduation and another daughter just starting her high school career. Dennis Garcia, a dedicated gym teacher struggling to pay the bills. Roger Kapoor, a bright and intuitive science teacher at risk of facing deportation. Chris Paxton, an easygoing math teacher shaken by the recent loss of a dear friend. Molly Huang, an exhausted home economics teacher dealing with a bad break-up. Beyond working in the same place, what do these six individuals have in common? All of them are in danger of losing their jobs, as informed to them by frustrated principal Amelia Bartlett, due to a drastic series of budget cuts proposed by incompetent superintendent Ted Zuckerman. Disillusioned with the current state of the American education system, the six take it upon themselves — with assistance from resentful long-retired history teacher Jeffrey Vernon, and even some of their students — to inject a little anarchy and chaos into the district, to challenge the system and break their school completely beyond repair.
