Detention

A former soldier turned weary teacher, Sam Decker returns to his inner-city neighborhood to teach at Hamilton High. He hopes to make a difference but is worn down by a system that seems broken. The school becomes his last effort to connect with students who need him.

On the day he intends to resign, Sam agrees to one final detention with the toughest students. He remains determined to guide and discipline them despite his frustration. The moment underscores his disillusionment with the system and his reluctant commitment.

A well-organized crew arrives at Hamilton High after hours, armed with automatic weapons and explosives. Their goal is to hide $300 million worth of heroin inside the building and drive away in two police cars parked at the auto shop. The school instantly becomes a danger zone as the intruders secure their plan.

Led by Chester Lamb, the robbers set up the operation to stash the drugs in hidden compartments and courageously prepare for a fast escape. They coordinate their movements as the clock ticks, using the school’s layout to their advantage. The tension tightens as the reality of the heist sinks in.

Lamb's team is surprised to find Sam and several detention-era students still inside the building. They suddenly become targets, forcing the group to improvise and stick together. The survivors realize the threat is not just robbers, but a deadly, organized force.

The intruders relentlessly pursue Sam and the students through classrooms and hallways. The school becomes a maze as they sprint to stay ahead of their pursuers. Alarms and the claustrophobic environment amplify the danger.

Lamb watches the pursuit on surveillance cameras and uses the security system against his prey. He can trigger misdirections and tighten the net around the group. The dynamic adds a chilling layer of control that the survivors must bypass.

Members Viktor, Alek, and Gloria Waylon continue to stalk the students through the building, keeping the pressure on. Their presence heightens the tension and forces Sam and the kids to stay vigilant. The threat remains constant as they seek an exit.

Drawing on his military training, Sam organizes a counterstrike to disrupt the robbers' plan. The students learn to read the changing situation and protect one another under pressure. Survival becomes a practical, shared lesson amid the chaos.

The group uncovers a sinister plot that involves the police department and even the highest levels of government. The crime is not just a hijacking, but a cover-up that raises the stakes for everyone hiding within the school. The discovery deepens the danger they face and reframes their fight.

Security guards and paid local police were supposed to ensure the school was empty after hours, yet they failed to account for Sam and the students. This lapse allows the robbers to operate with impunity and endangers the survivors. The lesson here is a critique of the system’s fragility.

Gloria Waylon and the others keep stalking the group as they navigate the building’s dark corners. The tension remains high as the survivors attempt to find safe routes and a way out. The siege becomes a extended game of hide and seek.

Sam reminds the kids that the lesson tonight is survival. He shares tricks and practical wisdom that help them endure danger and distrust around them. The moment emphasizes his resolve to teach meaningful lessons even in a crisis.

Sam and the students manage to thwart the robbers' plan and escape as dawn approaches. The school quiets, but the incident reveals a wider conspiracy at work. They survive, but the ordeal leaves a lasting mark on all involved.
