Susan Knight leads a comfortable life, content to overlook her husband Donny's gambling winnings that he hides through the books at her salon. After all, he needs an outlet to relax. Donny holds the position of headteacher at Second Chance, an alternative provision school for children with nowhere else to go. As the headteacher, Donny enjoys respect, financial stability, and charm. However, respect can be fleeting, money can be stolen, and charm has its limits.

The students at the school each have their own unique stories, as do the staff members. Drugs, debt, violence, and threats are a part of their daily lives. Donny has managed to get this far by defying the rules. To continue winning, he must take risks. Staying at the top requires risking everything.

Susan is aware of Donny's precarious position, but can she support him if he crosses the line? For Donny, losing Susan would mean returning to the life that has been waiting for him all along.
