Plum(2024)

Plum is an Australian drama series following Peter Lum, a celebrated football star whose world unravels after a medical diagnosis connects his repeated concussions to a degenerative brain disorder. Refusing to confront the reality of his condition, Peter retreats into nights at the pub, seeking escape from the truth. His ex-wife and son watch helplessly as the sport that once defined him becomes the source of his decline. Set against the coastal backdrop of Cronulla, the series explores the devastating toll of athletic injury, the struggle to accept mortality, and the fractured relationships left in its wake. Plum examines how success and identity can crumble when the body betrays you, and how those closest to us bear witness to our unraveling.
