'This is a journey of an incredibly shy and timid boy, fulfilling his dream of living in England. Sadly, all the opportunities his new environment offered, failed to remove psychological barriers created by his fear of life and people. Lacking confidence and self-esteem, he fails miserably at school and drifts into daydreaming, losing any sense of reality. He falls in love with the beautiful game, finding real joy only on a football pitch, and dreams of playing alongside his idols; Best, Law and Charlton. As his football dream disintegrates, he settles for jobs he is ill-at-ease with and agrees to marriage and settles down. However, a chance meeting changes his life forever. He is swept off his feet by a total stranger. This meeting provides a springboard for a career he could not have imagined and sets him off on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. He experiences love, heartache, pain, cultural clashes, family turmoil, shame, and guilt. He also learns about discrimination and how to support others. Through the love and devotion of a new woman, he awakens to develop into someone who stands up for others, becoming their voice, offering support, calling upon values, strength, and skills that lay dormant for decades.'
