Matt Bashir, history teacher and former Deputy at a prestigious girls' school, is promoted to the position of Principal of Boxdale Boys High in South West Sydney. Boxdale is a troubled school with a history of conflict and Matt is determined to turn it around, but his attempts at reform are met with scepticism and, in some quarters, hostility from his beleaguered colleagues. Just when it seems he is making progress, a 17-year-old student is found dead on school grounds.
