Carl Dewitt, a beloved high school teacher, has been suspended. Who told the administration about Carl? How does Carl learn about it, and how does he find new strength from his family?

How will other teachers deal with the accusations about their colleague? How will the students at Wells High School deal with their missing teacher, plus handle their own issues ranging from a mother with cancer, a pedophile for a father, an ancestry discovery, a transgender decision and so much more.
