David Vallejo is currently serving the 10th year of a 12 year prison sentence. Okay, technically speaking he's just a student and the place where he spends most of his waking hours is a "high school" not a prison. But with all his movements coordinated and all his activities predetermined by outside forces, it's sometimes hard to tell the difference. Thankfully, David knows how to bend the rules at this institution just enough without breaking them...or so he thinks. When he accidentally offends the higher-ups a bit too much, he has to undertake a legally dubious mission on their behalf to avoid punishment. All while dealing with his own (not so) typical teenage problems: (not doing) homework, spying on his friends (for a good cause of course), editing economics books (no, seriously), and in between all that he might manage to smuggle some dangerous weapons into the state too (or at least, that's what the police would have you think).
