In the TV movie The Perfect Daughter, Martin Parish is the single father of 15-year-old Natalie Parish (Sadie Calvano). She’s a popular girl, at the top of her high school class. But one night, after going to a party with high school hockey player Sam Cahill (Reiley McClendo), Martin finds Natalie walking home alone from the party drunk. Then she becomes unconscious. When Natalie comes to, Martin accuses Sam’s rich father Bruce Cahill (Parker Stevenson) of giving the kids alcohol. That doesn’t go well.
