Son, plea misfires! Wrong, quite the wrong perception (5,10)

I believe the answer is:

false impression

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'quite the wrong perception' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'son plea misfires wrong' is the wordplay.
'wrong' indicates an anagram.
'son'+'plea'+'misfires'='sonpleamisfires'
'sonpleamisfires' anagrammed gives 'FALSE IMPRESSION'.

Can you help me to learn more?
