Only child, Ella constantly daydreams for a happy home life, however with her father always gone for work it feels like something is missing. While also struggling with the transition to middle school, she wonders if her visions of a complete family will always just be fiction.
In this workplace comedy, a group of dedicated, passionate teachers — and a slightly tone-deaf principal — are brought together in a Philadelphia public school where, despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life. Though these incredible public servants may be outnumbered and underfunded, they love what they do — even if they don’t love the school district’s less-than-stellar attitude toward educating children.
