This fast-moving and sometimes disturbing book starts at the point where Brian is about to be arrested for smuggling a kilogram of cocaine into the UK in 1995, earning him a prison sentence of 12 years. The book explores his disadvantaged life growing up in Wales in impoverished circumstances with a number of brothers and sisters, all with the same mother but several different fathers. He tells of his first experience with drugs at the tender age of 16 and continues to chart his descent into drugs and drug dealing.
Brian decides to go to Sri Lanka to start a new life, only to get involved in drug smuggling between Sri Lanka and India, while living with a poor fisherman and his family who showed him great kindness. He describes life as a dealer and the many smuggling trips to and from different countries, before he was finally arrested in Swansea, the point at which the book starts.
He is saved by a Christian conversion, and the book details the difficulties experienced by him and other prisoners who tried to live out their Christian lives in a harsh and hostile prison environment, and how, in spite of the pressures temptations and setbacks, including seeing fellow believers take their own lives in prison or very shortly after release. Because of good behavior, his prison term is vastly reduced, and he is finally released and starts to train to help others overcome the horror which drug involvement brings into a person's life and showing them how they can receive new life in Jesus.
Although the book deals with very real and sometimes harrowing situations, it is not without a wry humor. The book will appeal to all those who have ever wondered what life is really like in some of Britain's best known high security jails, those who have loved ones who are still dependent on drugs, those who want to better understand why people are attracted to drugs in the first place, and those who enjoy a good story, well told, with all the emotional highs and lows that one would expect from such a tale.
