In the cut-throat world of Teaching English as a Foreign Language, the Link-a-Lingua school in Milan maintains its status by overcharging its students and underpaying its teachers. But with the summer term in full swing, there is trouble brewing. With ungodly hours, an unmotivated student body and cowboys running the show, it was only a matter of time before the workers grew restless. Mark and Sarah wanted nothing more than a quiet life. They were happily enjoying their Italian adventure. But when the conditions become unbearable, they take it upon themselves to lead the revolt. As attempts at peaceful resolution come to nothing, they realise that nothing short of all-out war will work to bring down the corrupt regime. With a heat wave on the way and the management too cheap to buy air-conditioning, the flies are soon circling the Link-a-Lingua classrooms as tensions begin to mount.
