At the end of the 1980s, nineteen-year-old Scott White was leading the highlife in Kuwait City. He had a fast car, gorgeous girl and was "in" with the "in" crowd. But when hes offered a chance at easy money selling drugs, his good fortune takes a turn for the worse - Scotts arrested during his first deal and sentenced to five years in prison. Fortunately for him, things took a dramatic turn for the better during his second year of incarceration - Iraq invaded Kuwait. Amidst the confusion, Scott and his fellow cellmates escaped through a hole in the wall of the prison. After trekking through the desert, he was picked up by a Sudanese family, made it through an Iraqi checkpoint, and fled back to the UK.
