James Lewis is a quiet, reserved high school English teacher β but underneath the calm exterior lies a storm he can no longer contain. Haunted by trauma from his own youth, Lewis is pushed to his breaking point when he witnesses a star athlete bullying a vulnerable student, and the school administration looks the other way.
As the system protects privilege and turns a blind eye to cruelty, Lewis begins to unravel. He takes matters into his own hands, stepping outside the boundaries of his profession and into dangerous moral territory. What starts as concern escalates into obsession, blurring the lines between protector and predator.
With each decision, Lewis becomes more isolated, his judgment clouded by anger and unresolved pain. He believes heβs doing what no one else will β standing up against injustice. But his actions raise an unsettling question: is he fighting for the students, or for something darker within himself?
Teacher is a tense, slow-burning psychological drama that explores how far someone will go in the name of justice β and what happens when the teacher becomes the one who needs saving. In a world of silence and complicity, it dares to ask: can rage ever be righteous?
