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.
