In 1978, gifted student & writer Greg Roberts turned to heroin when his marriage collapsed, feeding his addiction with a string of robberies. Caught & convicted, he was given a nineteen-year sentence. After two years, he escaped from a maximum-security prison, spending the next ten years on the run as Australia`s most wanted man. Hiding in Bombay, he established a medical clinic for slum-dwellers, worked in the Bollywood film industry & served time in the notorious Arthur Road prison.
