The movie

Thomas and Joanne are a young couple in love and their first baby is due any time soon. Just as they are about to move out of their shabby flat, Joanne is violently attacked by a gang of young hoodies, who leave her half-dead with a syringe in her stomach. Tommy helplessly watches the scene unfold. Doctors manage to save the child, but Joanne slips into a permanent coma.
