How much would you risk to change your life? Would you go where everyone else is trying to leave?

They shouldn’t have tear-gassed bestselling author Adam Fletcher. Now there’s something he wants to know. Something no-one is telling. To get the answer he must travel to some of the strangest places in the world: North Korea, Chernobyl, Transnistria, Liberland, and many more.

What starts as a humorous adventure will take over his life, threatening his sanity, safety, and relationship to his eccentric German girlfriend, Annett.

Why do they enter a Chinese blizzard armed with only a pack of biscuits? Why does a Croatian police boat chase him down the Danube? What does the Devil incarnate shout at him on a bus in Moldova? Can you change your life and world view through travel?

He’s getting close to the answer when, after a run-in with ants and Hare Krishnas, Annett quits. Now he’s alone, trying to decide if he should finally go home, and if he does, if anyone will be there waiting?
