Wallace plays single mum Candy, who's trying to keep her son, Kyle, on the straight and narrow with help from grandad, George (George Cole).
When Kyle's offered a place at a failing school, Candy's having none of it. Frustrated and disenfranchised, Candy decides to mount a one-woman protest, chaining herself to the gates of a prestigious school until her son's granted a place.
However, the conceited headmaster (Nathaniel Parker) of another prestigious school sees Candy on the news. He makes a bet with his deputy that if Kyle attended his school, he'd turn him from chav-rude-boy to respectable public school boy.
The headmaster's first task is to find a way to get Kyle into the school. Can he win his bet and get one over on his scheming deputy? And how will Candy and Kyle cope with the culture shock as two worlds collide?
A Class Apart is a Paloma production.
