The perfect trigonometry instructor, coach, father and designer label stubble wearing member of an Ohio high school faculty is flawed when his career obsessed ex wife is killed in a car accident. His gorgeous 17 year old pupil, who already harbours desires for him, moves in for the kill at first metaphorically, and when the teacher refuses her advances literally. If grieving for his loss wasnt enough to keep him occupied his secret admirer trumps up a false rape charge tries to run him over in a car and plays her hand at blackmail. The Perfect Teacher is an engrossing take on obsession.
