Breakdown

Lily and Sam are in crisis mode. Lily’s pregnant, and Sam’s in a panic that rings entirely true: They’re in enormous debt – how will they support a baby? Then they begin to face an even graver possibility: what if their unborn child turns out to be like Lily’s older sister, Sarah? Sarah is autistic—she’s able to care for herself, but still very difficult to handle and know, processing the universe in such an unfathomable way. Sarah’s employed, lives independently, and by all means looks “normal,” but she’s not quite normal. She’s the kind of person that one might interact with every day, not realizing her brain is a little different. Lily’s fears also ring true: What, she wonders, if our baby can’t stand to be held or touched, the way Sarah was? What if I don’t love my own child?

Seeking:

LILY:
Female, mid 20’s-early 30’s. PR Associate for the New York Rangers, married to Sam for one year

SAM:
Male, mid 20’s-early 30’s. Columbia Law School student

SARAH:
Female, late 20’s-early 30’s. Lily’s older sister. High functioning autistic, NJ Transit train ticket collector
