In the days leading up to the Christmas holiday, 30-year-old sanitation worker Ricky Paloma receives word that he has been identified as a victim in a child sexual abuse case against his high school Science teacher. In an attempt to clear his teacher's name, Ricky unearths decades-old secrets that threaten to shatter his relationships with his mother Awilda and his only child. Tara is an exploration of trauma disguised as growing pains, the tension between progress and conservatives in Latino culture and the binding, sometimes lethal, power of love.
Cast includes: Anna Savant, Rebekah Carmichael, Stephanie LaVardera, Rod Singleton, Jelani Alladini, and Bob D'Haene
