As Sam, a young man on the autism spectrum looks for love and independence, he’ll run into some hiccups as he moves out of his family home to live with Zahid and assert his role as an adult. But in the trailer, below, it would seem that the steps could be impacting Sam’s college performance.

“It says I’m in danger of academic probation,” Sam announces to Zahid, reading a letter from his school aloud. Zahid does his best to reassure that it’s not a big deal, but will Sam’s other friends get into his head? “It’s a huge deal,” Sam’s friends at college counter.
