'A daughter's telling of her father's tale of addiction, resurrection, dumb luck and love.
'Her whole life, Georgia's father has told her she will be the one to write his story. It's a story in which living is just a game of chance- why did Grant Tree survive when others didn't? Why did he find love and happiness, and a grown daughter to spill his story to so that she can record the whole beautiful, unlikely mess of it? Told in parallel to Grant's story is the life of his friend and dealer Brian Geoffrey Chambers, known in the book as Charlie, who was ultimately executed in Malaysia for drug smuggling.'
