New art teacher Karen arrives at Prospect Secondary College, a school gaining attention for its miraculous turnaround of drug and suicide rates. She teaches the Integration art class, finding pleasure in working with the students with disabilities. However, she eventually discovers that said disabilities are self-inflicted, with a special school fund paying for the operations. Prospect's principal, Dr Best, argues these amputations and alterations are better than the suicides the students threaten to commit otherwise.
