Sarah is 10 years old. She's scratched her knee and developed an infection.

Now she's in an isolated room in hospital. Her family and medical team are hoping this will stop the infection, but they're running out of time.

Whilst Sarah's imagination drifts to Hawaii, her mother tries to hunt down the antibiotic of last resort.

Oliver Emanuel's potent and playful drama set in a near-future in which doctors can no longer prescribe antibiotics.
