Damo Adams

Damo first met Josh Barrett during a university open day where he spoke about how large the workload was for an architecture degree. He noticed how tired Josh was and after learning he had pulled an all-nighter, Damo gave him his number, offering to organise him stimulants to help with his fatigue. After staying up all night again and destroying his laptop by mistake, Josh contacted Damo and purchased pills from him. After being caught, Josh went cold on Damo, and he approached him two weeks later, wanting to know what was going on. Josh fobbed him off, not wanting to purchase anymore pills due to his promise to Evelyn.

However, as Josh struggled to focus on his studies, he contacted once again Damo to purchase more pills. Damo had sold out of the original ones, but sold him a stronger dose. After taking one and having a bad trip, Josh learnt from Matt that he cooked the pills in a backyard drug lab. Josh confronted him and threatened to go to the police, but Damo assured him if he did, he would take him down too. It soon emerged that a student from Northern Districts University had overdosed after taking half a pill at a party and Damo began to feel the walls closing in. He confronted Evelyn, telling her to get Josh to keep his mouth shut or she will have to watch her back as well. Despite this, Evelyn urged Josh to go to the police and he informed Kat.

The police raided Damo’s room and found pills and cash, but he was nowhere to be found. He broke into the share house and held Josh hostage with a cricket bat. Marilyn called the police after hearing suspect noises from the property and Kat arrived. Damo convinced her to take her gun out of the holster to keep the situation calm, but during a scuffle, he picked up the gun and shot Kat. Whilst she was rushed to hospital, he was taken into custody.

Four weeks later, Kat took Josh and Andy to testify against Damo, who pled guilty to his charges. It was revealed that Damo was sentenced to a “long time” in prison.
