About

At a New England boarding school, a strict classics teacher must supervise students staying over Christmas, including a rebellious pupil.

At Barton Academy, a strict classics teacher named Paul Hunham (Paul Giamatti) is made to stay on the New England boarding school’s campus over the Christmas holiday. He has to supervise the few students who have nowhere else to go. Among them is Angus Tully (Dominic Sessa), an intelligent but rebellious pupil whose mother has cancelled a family trip and arranged a honeymoon with her new husband instead. Mary Lamb (Da'Vine Joy Randolph), the school’s cafeteria manager, also remains behind; her son, a former Barton student, recently died in the Vietnam War.
