The Island

SYNOPSIS 

Following a childhood from a broken home and always moving from one school to another where he was constantly bullied until he was fourteen. 

This is the story of John Rybecht from his early years into adulthood, from leaving the home of his mother and stepfather with nowhere to go and getting involved with all the wrong people for all the wrong reasons, before being shipped off to live with his father only to get deeper into trouble.  

Being initiated into yet another drug gang, surviving in a world of violence and deceit that most people would be shocked to know existed outside of a film set. That would take all his cunning not to mention a little luck to survive.  

Escaping in the end with the help of an old friend that he never expected to see again to start a new life which has enabled him to tell his story in the hope that it will prevent someone else from falling into the same traps and having to spend any time living in a hell that has little or no future for anyone who is caught up in it.
