“The most dangerous thing about school used to be the students.”

Her knee broken after she stood up to the gang leader at her Miami school, a teacher is left in the hospital, and her boyfriend takes it personally. Jonathan Shale (Tom Berenger), a mercenary just back from a jungle raid, walks into her classroom as the new substitute.
