High School teacher Mark Byrd is stressed out... He is burned out.... And now his students have locked him in a small storage closet at the back of his classroom and he can't get out !

Come spend the Victoria Day long weekend with Mark as he deals with how to survive this ordeal and how he confronts himself on how he has become every high school teacher he has ever hated.
