The 9th Life of Louis Drax Trailer

Louis Drax is a young boy who lives with his mother and father, the family are close but each year Louis seemingly has a bad accident. His parents put this down to their son's clumsy ways but they're fully aware that something deeper might be at play.

It's Louis ninth birthday and he and his parents plan to go into the woods for a picnic to celebrate. As the trio begin to have a nice time, tragedy strikes and Louis is found at the bottom of a cliff.

In a deep coma, the young boy is transferred to a special coma unit where his vitals are monitored by acclaimed neurologist Dr. Allan Pascal. Louis had been technically dead for two hours before being rescued and the fact that he's reciprocating to any form of treatment is a miracle in itself.

The police begin to investigate and initially think that the fall was a terrible accident, but as more facts are uncovered, it looks more likely that Louis was pushed. To make things worse, Louis father is missing and thought to be on the run.

Dr. Pascal's relationship with Louis' mother deepens as the doctor becomes more infatuated with the boy and his case. Trying to understand what's happening to Louis and finding a positive outcome to his current state leads Pascal to try unprecedented tests but what the doctor begins to see is that somethings cannot be so easily explained.

The 9th Life of Louis Drax is based on the book of the same name written by British novelist Liz Jensen.
