Based on the true events surrounding Tom and Nicola Ray from Rutland, this story depicts how their idyllic life was shattered in an instant when Tom developed sepsis. While Tom lay in a coma, Nicola gave birth to their second child in a different part of the same hospital. In just a few days, sepsis claimed Tom’s arms and legs and left his face significantly disfigured. An average man who never took unnecessary risks, Tom awoke two months later to find himself in a nightmarish reality as a quadruple amputee with a transformed face. This remarkable tale of endurance highlights the power of unconditional love in overcoming seemingly insurmountable challenges.
