Have you ever been in a new life
situation where you didn’t know what to do anymore? Meet
Lauren, who is used to caring for her autistic brother;
now that he is at a boarding school, she worries about him
and doesn’t know what to do with her time. Meet Sierra,
who usually takes care of things her alcoholic mother does
not; currently she is living in foster care next door to
Lauren. Lauren turns her energy towards befriending
Sierra; she also decides to help people in need by taking
things from people that have enough. Lauren and Sierra
will have to decide which is more important - staying
friends or doing the right thing. (Prepared
