In 1999, heartbroken Londoner Clare Matthews decides to travel to Goa, India. She loves it so much that when her money runs out, she overcomes her initial fears and hides 2 pounds of hashish in a statue, mailing it off to Europe to make some quick cash. But her party lifestyle spirals out of control, and she needs more money. She ships another parcel, and then another but the third one doesn't reach Europe. The courier company says they've lost the address and ask her to go to the post office to pick up a fax. Desperate for money but suspecting a trap, Clare reluctantly picks up the fax. Shes arrested and ends up spending years in one of Asia's largest jails, waiting trial. Finally, shes given a 5 year sentence which shes already served. But just after shes released, Clare's lawyer tells her that her sentence has been extended for another 5 years. Devastated, Clare waits in jail for 3 months until the judge relents and allows her to return to London.
