Scandalous Lessons is based on the true story of James "Mike" Deel, the husband of a middle school teacher convicted of inappropriate behavior with a minor. The story takes you from the discovery of something that no husband wants to find out-his wife is cheating on him. Even worse, the other man is a thirteen year old boy, who happens to be a student in her class. With the epidemic of female teachers becoming sexually involved with their students spreading across the United States, the question of how the families and spouses learn the horrible truth, how they deal with it, and what their lives become in the wake has yet to be told from this point of view. James, having the misfortune of being the one to discover his wife's crime, must deal with the anger he harbors towards her, the ridicule of the town he grew up in, and the mixture of emotions that come from trying to sort out what to do next. Scandalous Lessons deals with a man's conflict of feeling loyalty to the woman he took vows with and the desire to honor those vows even in the face of adversity. It is about the betrayal of that loyalty and how he must come to grips with the fact that the one who commits the crime is not the only one who suffers the punishment.
