A troubled teen and his mother relocate to a small town where he attends a school run by a syndicate of bullies who terrorize students and teachers alike. A former bully himself he’s legally forbidden to engage in violent action — instead he trains a group of outcasts how to defend themselves.

This is a revision based on Lachie's notes.

When a troubled teen on probation for bullying relocates to a new school he must train a group of outcasts to defend themselves against bullies who are far worse than him.

I agree with what you're saying and you're right it does need to be distilled down for more impact and clarity. It is a bit clunky and we're all on the same page with "legally forbidden". Thank you, Lachie.

I was working on that being one of the factors. Thank you, Victor.
