Bricked
Pat Riordan finds his way back to his college town and to teaching at Wolfcreek,the District's school for the hard-to-handle. His sense of tragedy makes him a good fit for the boys of his classroom, who call their banishment from the mainstream being bricked. Riordan and new school principal Doug Donovan know a mellow approach to teaching is the best way for their students to learn. But certain district administrators feel otherwise. Bricked follows Riordan, the teaching staff and their students as they contend with their turbulent lives in what might be the school's final year.
