A near-future with no antibiotics where Sarah’s parents are left to make an unbearable choice. Starring Jocelyn Brassington.
Sarah is 10 years old. She's not allowed to play outside.
But when her brother takes her into some nearby woods, an everyday scratch gets infected and turns her whole family's world upside down.
Now Sarah's in an isolated room in hospital. Her family and medical team are hoping this will stop the infection.
Whilst Sarah's imagination drifts to Hawaii, her parents are left to make an unbearable choice for their daughter.
