Coma Girl is about a group of female friends united by a shared history but divided by almost everything else. Most friends meet for dinner, or at the pub, or sometimes just grab a quick coffee together, but for these four old school friends their monthly get together is in the unsettling surroundings of an intensive care unit. Siobhan is a failing TV presenter, Sarah is a rather reluctant mother of three, Pip is a pseudo bohemian and Lucy, well Lucy is in a coma. After the initial shock of seeing their friend in such a state, the three old school friends soon realise that Lucy is in dire need of help, the sort of help that only they can provide. This is what real friendship is all about. As Lucy becomes more aware of what is going on around her, we delve into unexpected and funny moments from her subconscious. Meanwhile the rest of the girls learn to adapt to hospital life.
