The Tested is about a life shattering tragedy that sends three people on vastly different paths to a similar goal of redemption and understanding. One year ago, plain clothes cop, Julian Varone gunned down an unarmed teen. Darraylynn Warren, the teen's mother, has spiraled into a pit of despair, while his brother, Dre, flirts with gang life. As Julian prepares to get back to work, the three realize they cannot find closure without the other.
