Charmayne Davis is a top teacher at Cody High School and seems to be making her way to becoming one of the top administrators in the staff. She has worked hard and has proven herself time and time again to be a power player amongst the educators. The principal of the school, FITZGERALD PATTERSON, a Trump-lover and pro-weapon advocate, must stay on his toes because at his every turn Charmayne is there to challenge him and his every move and motive. All is well until Charmayne’s son, fifteen-year-old, DEDRICK DAVIS, a student at the high school, walks into the school nearing the Summer break armed with a gun and shoots and kills the music teacher, TILISON BUTLER, causing an all-out city-wide panic.
