Samm relates a unique story of flight and survival. After being forcibly recruited as a soldier in Liberia, he manages to escape imprisonment and certain death, to find himself unexpectedly in Rotterdam. His experiences with the Dutch immigration and asylum system, as well as the criminal justice system, read as a saga that would be impossible to make up.
