Sarah is 10 years old. She scratched her knee and developed an infection. When the infection threatened her life, her parents agreed to have her leg amputated. The amputation hasn't stopped the infection and Sarah only has days to live...

It's past midnight, her parents stand on the roof of the hospital.

One of them thinks there's a way to save their daughter's life, the other thinks it's time to say goodbye...

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