The Dark Side of Education Exposed... For many of us, the vocation of a teacher carries with it a kind of mythos-the teacher is an authority figure, a keeper of knowledge, a sage, and in some cases even a saint.

Whiteknight is plunged into the bitter realities of hypocrisy, nepotism, politics, and unbridled decadence festering just under the seemingly calm surface of a public high school. As Whiteknight is drawn inexorably into a whirlpool of treachery, deceit, and character assassination, he tries to untangle himself from the black conspiracy that threatens to destroy his ideals. Has all hope ceased for him, or has a catharsis unlocked a different set of possibilities? Engage in this compelling exposé and pass your own judgment on the fate of Author Whiteknight...things are seldom what they seem.
