For reasons as varied as addiction, poverty, abuse and physical disability, Tracey, Matt, Grace, and Jack return to school to complete their education as adults. Matt and Tracey become a couple, leaving behind pasts which included prostitution and petty crime. Grace starts to build a life for herself and her daughter now that they have escaped her violent husband. Jack, reserved by nature, gradually relaxes his guard to connect with others after a car accident left one arm useless to upset a carefully planned life.
Then Tony Wamberg returns to town and registers at their Adult Education Centre. All four have reason to detest him, and when his body is found in the school dumpster, become suspects in his murder. Unfortunately, their attempts to establish their innocence create a desperate situation.
