A good school year was well on its way until Kathleen decided to make a home visit to one of her absent students, Eddie. Once she entered the Benedict Housing Complex were he lives, she knew she had made a mistake. Instead of convincing Eddie to return to school, she finds him high and in trouble with two grim men.
