The story

The film is based on the true story of David MacEnulty, who taught schoolchildren of the Bronx Community Elementary School 70 to play chess at competition level, eventually winning New York City and the New York State Chess Championships. The screenplay portrays whistle-blowing and a mid-life crisis that combine to remove Richard Mason (played by Ted Danson) from his old life. He becomes a substitute teacher and is assigned to a fourth-grade class in a South Bronx school.
