They assign him administrative duties in the 'Rubber Room' of lore and legend in the superintendent's office where lost souls known as 'rogue teachers' await judgment. Rather than wait passively to be exonerated for what he considers justifiable defense, Manny undertakes a quest to clear himself. He uncovers startling evidence that educational officials are falsifying statistics - and that the scandal reaches the highest levels of city politics. As the new realities of urban education erode his ideals, Manny wallow in self-pity. He spirals downward on alcohol, drugs, and his favorite student, Maggie, a bright, green-eyed beauty interested-unlike the others-in learning, whose infatuation temps him in his weakened state.
