Plot:

Set in the late 1930s, the story revolves around William Franklin, an Irish teacher who immigrates to America only to return to his homeland due to his progressive political beliefs causing him job loss. He finds solace at St. Jude's, a school designed for troubled young men. The environment is dominated by Brother John, a disciplinarian who strictly adheres to traditional values. In this clash of ideologies, William Franklin endeavors to not only adapt but also make positive changes within the institution, creating an intriguing exploration of education, discipline, and social transformation set against the backdrop of pre-war Europe.
