 The Narrow Gate follows Sarah Webber, an Upper East Side mother and housewife, through the bewildering world of post-9/11 Manhattan. Sarah s perfect life crumbles before her as her mounting paranoia drives her husband away and leaves her alone with a young daughter and a baby on the way. Slowly, she rebuilds and fills her formerly closed life with a new openness, just as her family and friends are dealing with their own crises. In a chance encounter in a park, Sarah proves her newfound strength by saving Safiyyah, a Middle Eastern woman being brutally beaten in a hate crime. Her continuing friendship with Safiyyah and her family put Sarah in the unique position of preventing a future terrorist attack on the city.
