"In December 2009 the national newspapers reported the arrest of a 'drug baron' with the biggest haul of crystal meth yet seen in this country. The accompanying photo was a mugshot of a scrawny, seedy looking bloke-the archetypal lowlife, a career crook, no doubt. And yet behind the headlines was a story the newspapers never discovered, a story more sensational than they could have wished for. This lowlife, this drug baron was in fact, just a few years before, a meek law-abiding suburban family man . . . He was my dad." James is just a normal student-insecure, smelly, geeky and a virgin to boot. His father is a middle class, middle-aged, and very well respected Jewish coin dealer. Their life is as good as it gets. Until one day James' father ditches Handel for Hard House and unexpectedly hits the gay club scene of London-trading in coin dealing for drug dealing. As James gets to grips with his new reality, will he save his broken dad or be dragged down with him? This is the incredible true story of how one well-to-do family man became Britain's most wanted meth dealer. For the first time, James, his son, tells the true story of their epic highs and crushing comedowns.
