Four high school seniors in rural Louisiana attend T.M. Landry, an unconventional K-12 school housed in a sparse warehouse made famous for sending its graduates to elite universities like Harvard, Yale, and Stanford. The seniors aim to meet the intense expectations of Mike Landry, the imposing founder of the school who charts a relentless course towards their college dreams. But as more and more students are pushed to their breaking point, each senior must contend with uncomfortable truths about their school and the college admissions system, and decide for themselves what they are willing to do to be accepted.
