The Tested

In this intense drama, violence and grief bring together a plainclothes cop (Armando Riesco), the mother (Aunjanue Ellis) of the unarmed teenager he shot and killed, and the dead boy's brother (Michael Morris, Jr.), who appears destined to fall into gang life. As the mourning parent fights to keep her surviving child safe from harm, the psychologically scarred lawman tries to break through the guilt of making a fatal mistake.
