Judas Goat
On the day of student standardized testing, a new substitute teacher at Blackburn Public School grows suspicious of the faculty’s unsettling behavior, uncovering a web of moral dilemmas. As the pressure of high-stakes testing intensifies in a failing public school system, third-grade teacher Danaya Drummond and her fellow faculty members find themselves in a battle against time and expectations when they decide to defy the odds and safeguard their institution's future.
