Fortysomething high school teacher Edwin is a cringy control freak and a total pushover. His wife left him, his daughter Bobbie doesn’t want to be seen with him and at work he is bullied by both his colleagues and students. When one day headmaster Glenda shatters Edwin’s dream to become vice principal, deeming him unqualified due to his ‘stunning lack of authority', Edwin realizes things need to change. Foul-mouthed gym teacher and alpha-man-child Peter is more than willing to offer some help, but has a way of making things worse beyond imagination.
