After avenging his father, Adrian, Chicago’s underground king, abides by his mother’s last wish. Hiding his identity as “The King”, he joins Westbridge Academy to take charge of Group C — a behavioural intervention programme for privileged troublemakers infamously known as the “teacher graveyard”. Students including Dylan and Chloe write him off as just another teacher who will soon quit, striking a seven‑day bet and plotting a string of elaborate pranks against him. Adrian outmanoeuvres every trick with extraordinary skill, yet always prioritises the students’ safety and guidance. When his underground rival Damien turns the pranks into a deadly bombing, Adrian risks his life to save the whole class. Dylan shifts from hostility to defending him, and Chloe’s defiance begins to crumble after the rescue. As Hunter, the most volatile student, joins the fray, Adrian must keep his secret intact while steering these children, who worship power and violence, back on the right path.
