Jean Marc Calvet lived a dark and violent life. Then aged 38, via a terrifying trip to hell and back, he was given a second chance. On the run in Central America and haunted by his past, he shut himself in a house and decided that death was his only way out. For nine months he suffered a terrifying metamorphosis and was saved only by a can of industrial paint. Now a successful artist with solo exhibitions in New York, his work sells for 1000s. But on a quest for redemption, he must return to France and find the six-year-old son he abandoned twelve years ago without a word.
