A Teacher's Crime
Released: 3 May 2010
Classification: PG
Region: 4 (Australia & New Zealand)

Carrie (Ashley Jones) is an attractive history teacher at a public high school in Philadelphia. Always taking a special interest in particularly troubled students - she goes above and beyond other teachers, to ensure these kids have a decent future.

She's also in the middle of divorce, dealing with visitation and custody rights to her 9-year old daughter and dealing with a 17-year-old orphan Jeremy (Eric Knudsen), a smart kid with lots of potential, whose less-than-conducive home life constantly gets in his way. Unfortunately, Jeremy lives with his uncle Bill (Chris Mulkey), who owns a used car dealership and spends much of his time trying get-rich-quick schemes, in a world of shady business dealings and unsavory characters.

Bill discovers that Carrie is the daughter of a multimillionaire businessman (Art Hindle), and hatches a plan to extort three hundred thousand dollars from her, with blackmail as his back up.

He arranges for Jeremy to transfer into her class at school and encourages a mutual special interest in order to get them photographed 'together': the photos being used to expose an illicit 'teacher and student' affair if she doesn't pay up.
