Wisps of Cloud

Karla Spicer finds her position as Senior Teacher at Tui Park Primary School in Wellington, New Zealand is hindered by the Associate Principal Val Cook who resents her progressive ideas. The principal is an easy-going man drifting towards retirement who avoids controversy whenever possible. However, by supporting junior staff and parents Karla becomes a popular staff member. She dates Ryan Purdon, the school's janitor and he tells her about Top Plateau, a tiny school near his family farm where after problems, the principal is leaving. After being approached by the Ministry of Education, Karla agrees to take the acting principal's position there and Ryan goes with her to stay in his farmhouse. Tensions arise with a marijuana plantation discovered near the farm and a local bikie gang is suspected as the growers. However, potential enemies become friends and the trusted, untrustworthy. Karla is more than just a teacher striving to do the best for the children under her care.
