Middle-aged history teacher Barbara discovers that the beguiling Sheba, a new teacher at St George's, is having an affair with one of her 15-year-old pupils. Barbara quickly positions herself as Sheba's chief defender. However, all is not what it seems and, as Sheba soon discovers, a friend can be just as treacherous as any lover.
