“August, 1971. My raging hormones triggered events that would change the course of my life forever.” Seventeen-year-old Peter was just a typical teenager, looking for a good time. After a night out with a friend looking for sexual fulfilment, he awakes to find that it’s two year’s in the future – and he has no memory of how he’s got there. Peter quickly realises that he’s become something quite different from his younger self. To his horror, he discovers that he’s at the centre of a violent drug-dealing culture, where dangerous vile characters – including his homicidal twin – are searching for him, asking questions that he can no longer answer. All the money in his possession has disappeared. He is only too aware his former associates will want their pound of flesh... Four decades later, Peter is involved in another harsh battle for survival. During this fight he meets two fascinating creatures: Jennifer, who becomes the love of his life, and a strange and beguiling temptress, who reveals – through torture – the twisted secrets of his lost years. Upon discovering the truth about his brutal past, Peter decides on a course of action that sees him cast into a world of uncertainty, where nothing stays the same for long...
