In the series premiere of the four part Channel 5 drama “Coma,” viewers are introduced to Simon, a devoted family man who finds himself at a breaking point due to the unruly behaviour of a group of teenagers in his neighbourhood. Led by the menacing 17-year-old Jordan and his questionable companions, these teenagers create an atmosphere of terror that leaves Simon and his wife, Beth, desperate to move their young daughter to a safer area.
As tensions escalate, Simon’s frustration reaches its peak and he confronts Jordan outside his own home. In a split-second decision, everything changes. This gripping drama explores the consequences of that fateful encounter and how it alters the lives of everyone involved.
