Returning to her hometown for a fresh start as an educator, a determined woman crosses paths with a rowdy group of students on her first morning commute. After a tense warning fails to deter them, she hurries onward to reach the school grounds safely. There she learns these same troublemakers belong to the class she will oversee, and the earlier friction quickly resumes inside the building. An unexpected intervention by one classmate halts the disruption, though his standing among the others proves more complicated than it appears.
