Without a private fortune to fall back on, Paul is forced to take a position as a teacher at a third-rate boarding school, run by Dr. Fagan (David Suchet, Agatha Christie's Poirot). All too quickly, it becomes disastrously apparent that Paul is not fit for the position, but a visit from the beautiful and wealthy American mother of one of his students (Eva Longoria, Desperate Housewives) stirs up hope that his luck may be changing.
