Un'infanzia negata nella più totale assenza d'amore, sfociata in un'adolescenza all'insegna della criminalità, fino alla reclusione nel carcere di massima sicurezza di San Quentin a soli diciannove anni, e in aggiunta a tutto questo l'imputazione infondata per concorso in omicidio di una guardia carceraria costatagli il trasferimento nel braccio della morte. In quel luogo di vite senza futuro, vecchiaia, rimorso e rimpianto, Jarvis si ritrova solo con se stesso, a dover fare i conti con il suo passato di sofferenza subìta e inferta.

David Sheff's story is a first: a teenager's addiction from the parent's point of view, a real-time chronicle of the shocking descent into substance abuse and the gradual emergence into hope.

Before meth, Sheff's son, Nic, was a varsity athlete, honor student, and award-winning journalist. After meth, he was a trembling wraith who stole money from his eight-year-old brother and lived on the streets. With haunting candor, Sheff traces the first warning signs, the attempts at rehabilitation, and, at last, the way past addiction. He shows us that, whatever an addict's fate, the rest of the family must care for one another, too, lest they become addicted to addiction.
