This led to heroin and becoming a hopeless addict destined to die with a needle in his arm. His life seemed normal on the outside but inside was anything but. He goes from an upper-class world, college, even working for the DEA, and driving a Ferrari; to rehabs, jails, being homeless, and even death. When all hope was lost, some people he considers "angels" entered his life. One person, in particular, refused to give up on him when everyone told her too. She was able to love him until he could start to love himself again. Through her determination, he was able to find the strength to look into the real reasons for his addiction. Once he understood the real reasons behind his addiction he was able to beat his addiction to drugs and turn his life around.
