Andrew Norris je novi učitelj glasbe na srednji šoli, kjer morajo dijaki celo skozi detektor kovin na vhodnih vratih. Šolo namreč ustrahuje banda nepridipravov, na čelu s Petrom Stegmanom, ki Andrewu začne povzročati preglavice. Najprej se učitelj pritoži ravnatelju, vendar ko ugotovi, da je ta povsem nemočen v boju proti huliganom, jim sam napove vojno.
Andrew Norris is a new teacher in an inner city high school that is like nothing he has ever seen before. This school is so dangerous that the students have to go through a metal detector at the front door and almost everything is run by a punk posse lead by a delinquent named Peter Stegman. Soon, Norris and Stegman clash and Stegman will stop at nothing to protect his turf and drug dealing business.
