Synopsis

A headmaster's son has to set a good example !
Louis is 16 and has heard those words a thousand times.
His best friend, Greg is two years older than him. They aren't in the same class at school. In principle, they couldn't be less alike. Greg is a bad boy. His sixth-grade teachers say that he is temperamental.
Camille Chatelier, an inexperienced young English teacher, find this out to her cost. Greg has threatened her with a pair of scissors during a lesson and she has asked for him to be expelled. He knows that he's on borrowed time and decides to take the ultimate revenge : he's going to kidnap the teacher to teach her "a good lesson".
