Was it murder or was it an accident? If it was murder, who was responsible? Whatever it was, what are they meant to do about it?" Beaver's Brook Primary School is the subject of a justifiably scathing ofsted inspection, which rips apart the school and its inhabitants, wrapping them in mystery and deceit. As an inspector is found dead in the staff room, the fragile lives of the teachers are held to scrutiny and ridicule. Their hopes and aspirations decompose beneath a tirade of no-holds-barred mockery, in which love, ambition, jealousy, passion, guilt and innocence collide with disastrous consequences.
