Dickensian tale of a new teacher at a boarding school for troubled boys who forms a chorus as an outlet for his own musical pursuits but has a positive impact on everything else. The boys are easier to control with a purpose and sense of pride and it even takes the edge off their cruel headmaster. However, when they finally get to perform in public there are unintended consequences. Light, easy fare with small doses of conflict and romance.
