Billy Moore went to Thailand to escape a present of drug addiction and alcoholism. But just as he was managing to detox, he succumbs to the temptation and tries the powerful yaba, known as "the drug of madness," a methamphetamine with devastating effects. Moore's life is once again in balance between addiction and crime: he earns a living through illegal boxing matches until he is arrested and imprisoned in Klong Prem, a place where life has no value. The young Englishman finds himself facing a hostile environment, where the only rules are the ruthless ones of the Thai prison gangs, and violence is the only language everyone can understand. Billy, drawing on his past as a boxer, learns the discipline of Muay Thai, the art of Thai combat. After three long years, his strength and determination, combined with a bit of luck, will give him a second, unexpected chance. What can pull you out of hell? The true story of a man fighting to survive in the infamous Klong Prem prison, one of the most terrifying prisons in the world. A raw and authentic tale where human life is worth less than zero.
