It is 1967 Bangkok, the Summer of Love, and for Jon Cole, son of a US Army Green Beret colonel serving in the Vietnam War, life as a teenage Westerner in the City of Angels is sweeter than mangoes on sticky rice with coconut milk. Drawn to the underbelly of Bangkok, the International School Bangkok student soon discovers ganja, opium dens and two-dollar bordellos.

What follows is a surreal but true story of one Westerner's relationship with Thailand spanning four decades. Introduction to the now infamous House of Lek with schoolmates and GIs on R&R from Vietnam eventually leads to a lucrative career as a drug smuggler, a heavy heroin habit and, ultimately, a long stretch inside Bangkok's notorious prison, the Bangkok Hilton.
