'It is every parent's dread that their offspring, no matter what their conscientious parent's advice, will be influenced into experimenting with drugs once they start spreading their wings. Their age, social status, which school they attended or what friends they have has no bearing on what seems to be the unavoidable introduction to 'grass' (cannabis), methamphetamines (speed and ice), heroin or cocaine. In the spur of the moment, they will disregard the warnings given and the dangers inherent in using them. This is the story of Ruth who, after years of refusing to believe her son David would be dim-witted enough to succumb to pressure of a social group, finally acknowledges he had done so and so begins a time of deep reflection, a time she shares with Gnome.'
