Two fathers. A school shooting.
Eight years later, how do we forgive and heal?
Good Boys is the story of two men, one black one white, who meet eight years after a school shooting in which both their sons died, one a victim the other the shooter. As the fathers search for understanding and viciously cast blame, they confront difficult questions about vengeance and responsibility. Is it possible to heal?
