A supernatural revenge tale rooted in childhood trauma and suppressed guilt, where a man's past literally returns to haunt him through ghostly manifestations in his high school classroom.

Desperate for a job to help him support his family, Jim Norman takes a position teaching high school in the town where his brother was murdered in front of him by teenage bullies twenty-seven years before. The teens who committed the crime are long dead, but now the kids in Jim's new class keep dying and being replaced by new students who look like the deceased hoodlums.
