When "Doc" Littky (Michael Tucker) accepts the position of principal at Thayer High, he expects a quiet life in rural New Hampshire. Instead, he finds a school in crisis: a 30% dropout rate, rampant discipline issues, and a community that has lost all hope.
Armed with revolutionary, liberal teaching methods, Doc begins an uphill battle to transform the institution. But as the school begins to change, the town turns against him. What follows is a powerful, heart-wrenching drama about the struggle for the soul of a community and the resilience of a teacher who refused to give up on its children. Based on the true story of Dennis Littky, this compelling film explores what happens when progress meets tradition head-on.
