A new teacher, Zane, tries to befriend the class she is mentoring, but she goes too far — at Zane’s parties and on her field trips, the border between the teacher and the students begins to blur and dissolve. When one of her students falls in love with her, Zane finds herself in a tangled web of personal conflicts.
