Initially, the doctor informs Charles, James’ father, that his son is unlikely to survive, prompting a grief-stricken Charles to team up with Mr. Edwards—and later Albert, who defies orders to stay behind—to hunt down the culprits. As weeks pass with James still comatose, Charles refuses to accept his son’s fate, growing increasingly abusive toward his family and friends under the strain.
