A Social Drama – about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder

Jenna White’s entire world was ripped apart in the split second of a fatal car accident. Losing her husband and daughter nearly killed her.

 As she lay recovering in the hospital, the bittersweet news of her unexpected pregnancy was not enough to bring her out of her severe depression. Not for the first six months as she delved to the bottom of a liquor bottle to numb her pain, until one day, her loving father shocked her out of her self pity with the potential of losing this child too.

As Jenna moved forward in her life, Megan became her reason to live again. Jenna met a new love that brought healing into her life. Steve Davidson, a teacher and incredibly supportive spouse took Jenna and Megan into his life as their own with no reservations.

Now married and living the perfect family life again, Jenna and Steve begin to struggle with the bizarre and troublesome behaviours of Megan as she grows. Megan’s impulsiveness and her inability to sense danger progresses, as does her exceptional needs. After dozens of doctors, specialists, inaccurate diagnoses and dozens of medications, they are no further ahead in revealing what drives their loving daughter Megan to do the unthinkable things she does.

Judged as an unfit mother, Jenna fights not only for Megan, but to prove that she is not the terrible parent she’s accused of being.
