Goats

Fifteen-year-old Ellis Whitman has been raised by a self-centered New Age mother and a distant father, leading him to depend on an unusual mentor: Goat Man, a sage who grows marijuana and leads goats on treks. When Ellis opts to swap his desert home’s alternative lifestyle for a traditional East Coast prep school, he faces significant changes, though not as expected. Despite frequently being under the influence, Ellis is exceptionally intelligent and adept, easily excelling in academics and track. As the school year unfolds, it is his interactions with the adults around him that truly challenge him, pushing him to reconsider his views on responsibility and trust.
