Soon, however, the well-meaning teacher discovers that statutory rape is the least of his problems. Susan Bishop turns out to be a sociopath, and when she's sure she has her teacher where she wants him his criminal career begins in earnest.
But there's someone else out there, a serial snuff-film maker who calls himself the Auteur, and fate has just drawn the young seductress into his orbit.
