Never Too Late to Make Someone Pay

Thirty-eight years ago, Lena Lambert accused her teacher of assault, and he ended his life. Lena became a celebrated star, while his wife, Lucy Murphy, died six months later, leaving behind a seven-year-old son who has spent decades gathering proof that Lena lied.

Now a principal at Westbrook High, that son sits across from Lena's daughter, Winona Lambert, who tearfully claims she wants to protect students. He hires her, and she turns her classroom into a stage, filming lessons, chasing followers and sponsorships while invoking her mother's story. The vice principal, Dave Kingston, welcomes the publicity, but a veteran teacher, Sue Brooke, refuses to stay silent as the Teacher of the Year decision approaches.

He has waited thirty-eight years. Winona has just walked through his door.
