It is a taut, relentless, compelling, nerve tingling novel, about a beautiful woman, Sarah Lawson who is constantly abused by her young lover, Julio whom she lives with. Julio, who uses hard drugs, is completely obsessed by her.

Sarah, with the help of Julio's father, Juan, finally escapes the violent, mood-changing young man to return to her home-country of England. In due course, she meets a Jamaican doctor, Michael Akaro, who runs a drug Rehabilitation centre in North London and she joins his small team of voluntary helpers. However it does nothing to heal the scars that Julio has left in Sarah's mind and she becomes embittered towards men with drug habits.
