Coma, Miniseries

Dr. Susan Wheeler (Lauren Ambrose, TV’s “Six Feet Under”) is a medical student who grows concerned when she notices a pattern of seemingly healthy patients falling into comas while getting routine surgeries. Her sleuthing puts her career in jeopardy even as she finds a sympathetic ally in a young surgeon (Steven Pasquale, TV’s “Rescue Me”). But as the coma toll keeps rising, she traces the victims to a futuristic recovery facility nearby where she uncovers high-tech medical experiments and unspeakable horrors. She escapes only to be hunted by a crazed psychopath and must return to face ugly truths more shocking than she can imagine.
