When Robin Walker (played by Jessica Sipos) returns to her small hometown for her father's funeral, she is forced to confront not only the strained relationships she left behind but also the personal struggles she had hoped to escape.

Production
Villemaire conceived the film while he was a student at Ryerson University.[2] More than $50,000 was raised through crowdfunding for the film.[2] Filming took place in Quinte West, Ontario, in 2016.[3] Villemaire described the experience of making Goliath as "the ultimate film school," noting the challenges and the "trial by fire" approach many first-time filmmakers endure.[1]
