A maths teacher, Ada, returns to her alma mater, Pronk Primêr, a primary school in a small town, where some of her old school friends – Earl, Charl, Driena and Filip – also teach.
Their former principal, Mr Welgehawe, is still in charge.
But he's not the only challenge the teachers face, both in and out of the classroom.
There are Charl's efforts to maintain discipline, love triangles, online flirting, inspections, and Filip's discomfort when he has to teach about the birds and the bees in life orientation.
The cherry on top is the big ball to be held as a fundraiser.
