Mr. Parker, a charismatic drama teacher, was having an affair with an underage pupil from 1995 to 1997 and twenty years the woman, Katie, finally has the courage and strength to speak out. Tom Parker had been a hero of Sam's growing up, offering him shelter when his violent father lashed out, and encouraging him to follow his dreams as a filmmaker. Sam is reluctant to believe Katie, especially when she goes to the press with her story, while others are quick to oust Tom Parker and his wife from the community. Sam tries his best to find anything that might help his old teacher prove his innocence, including trawling through old VHS tapes he'd recorded in the 90s. The case collapses through lack of evidence but Tom Parker is left with his reputation in tatters, his marriage over and even Sam questioning whether Katie really had been telling the truth all along. The film shifts between present day to the VHS camera footage and to the ever changing and unreliable memories of the kids involved, now in their 30s. See less
