Plot
Jim McAllister teaches U.S. history and civics at Carver High School in Omaha, Nebraska. One of his students is Tracy Flick, an overachieving junior whom McAllister perceives as insufferable and whose mother Judith encourages her to strive for success. Earlier in the year, Jim's colleague and best friend, geometry teacher Dave Novotny, was fired from his job and divorced by his wife Linda after grooming Tracy and engaging in a sexual relationship with her. While Jim felt Dave needed to suffer consequences, he has become resentful of Tracy.
