After surviving a stabbing by a student, teacher Trevor Garfield moves from New York to Los Angeles. There, he resumes teaching as a substitute teacher. The education system, where violent bullies control the classrooms and the administration is afraid of lawsuits, slowly drives Garfield mad. He then moves to California to be a sub for a predominantly Native Hispanic/Latin-American high school in Los Angeles. He is tormented by members of a Native Hispanic/Latino-American tag crew named K.O.S. (Kappin’ off Suckaz).
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'One Eight Seven' is a dark drama/thriller focused on school violence, systemic failure, and a teacher's descent into madness. There is no indication that the setting, plot, themes, iconography, or resolution have any connection to Christmas whatsoever."
