PLUM NEW TV SERIES
TO HAVE BRENDAN COWELL AND ASHER KEDDIE AS LEADS
Australian ABC is preparing a six episode series PLUM directed by Brendan Cowell who based it on his own book and will also take the lead next to Asher Keddie. It follows Peter ‘The Plum’ Lum, a 49-year-old national football treasure who lives with his son Gavin (Vincent Miller) and girlfriend Charmaine (María Dupláa) in Cronulla.

the dream until he discovers he has a brain disorder as a result of the hundreds of concussions he suffered on the field. The new diagnosis doesn’t receive its intended effect, as Plum would sooner hide, run, and head to the pub for drinks with the boys and pretend everything is peaches. But hiding from the truth isn’t easy when your ex-wife (Asher Keddie) cares too much and your son comes to realise the father he worships is falling off his mantle and the game they love might be to blame.
