To Hell with high school!

The American education system is turned inside out when a frustrated teacher incites his students to stage an uprising.

In a poor suburban community in southern Ohio, Dieter Vogel is a failing English teacher at a high school populated predominately by minority students. He is bullied by the basketball coach, neglected by the principal, ignored by his crush, Esther, and pressured to workout with Jose, the art teacher.

At the end of the first day back after summer break, Dieter is visited by Satan, who takes the initial form of a Twinkie. Satan convinces Dieter to overthrow the school mascot, Gretel the Pretzel, so that the Devil can take its place. Dieter is promised Esther’s love and the position of principal in return.

All Dieter has to do is follow the Devil’s advice and use classic literature to manipulate the the students into a racially charged frenzy against the mostly white staff.
