Movie Story : Stuck on a New England prep school campus over the Christmas break, a bitter, unpopular history teacher is assigned to watch over the few students who have nowhere else to go. Among them is Angus, a sharp but troubled boy whose brainy defiance clashes with his supervisor's sour temperament. As the days pass, the unlikely pair finds an odd kinship, and they're joined by the school's cafeteria chief, a grieving mother who recently lost her son in Vietnam.
