Scared of Sarah

Lily and Sam are expecting their first child, and neither one feels ready: Sam worries about what this means for their bank account, while Lily’s troubled relationship with her autistic sister, Sarah, causes her to question their parenting abilities. When a fire at Sarah’s apartment ruins her 30th birthday and brings her into their home, Lily, 28, and Sam, 26, are forced to confront the very real possibility that their child might be autistic. Splitting its focus between the challenges of parenting a child on the spectrum and Generation Y’s complicated love affair with selfishness, Scared of Sarah investigates the fear that sets in when two people make a third.
