A un instituto lleno de alumnos problemáticos y con unos resultados académicos muy bajos, llega Henry Bathes, un profesor sustituto que posee un auténtico don para conectar con los alumnos. Pero Henry prefiere ignorar su talento. Al trabajar sólo sustituciones, nunca permanece bastante tiempo en un instituto como para mantener una relación afectiva con sus alumnos o sus compañeros. Cuando llega a este instituto donde una frustrada administración ha conseguido volver totalmente apáticos a los alumnos, Henry no tarda en convertirse en un ejemplo a seguir para los adolescentes. Logra una conexión emocional con los alumnos, con los otros profesores y con una adolescente prostituta a la que recoge en la calle. Puede que gracias a ellos se dé cuenta de que no está solo en su desesperada búsqueda de la belleza en un mundo aparentemente falto de amor y lleno de maldad.
