A burnt-out teacher, struggling to hold his family life and finances together gets a new student that gives him a new take on life. But he soon realizes that there is something terribly wrong with that new student.

Elliot is an overworked yet underpaid high school math teacher at a school that has consistently had low test scores and is under scrutiny as state testing is approaching. Worried about the bad optics of another year of low test scores, Principal Carter mandates after-school tutoring 5 days a week until testing begins. Already struggling with work-life balance, Elliot has to figure out how to maintain his relationships even while one relationship in particular starts to head in a dangerous direction.
