A redemptive comedy about a fallen authority figure who finds purpose and connection by teaching chess to misfits, learning humility and shared humanity in the process.

Candela, the headmistress of an elite school, after a traumatic divorce, returns to her old high school to lead a group of rebellious students through chess. There she will learn that in chess, and in life, it doesn't matter if you are a king or a pawn, because everyone ends up in the same box.
