A brilliant but unemployed education student takes a teaching job in a remote, underprivileged village where the school system is crumbling and controlled by a corrupt private institution. He decides to fight back not with violence, but with knowledge, offering free education to the students. His methods inspire the youth but draw the dangerous ire of the powerful entities that profit from keeping quality education out of reach for the poor.
