In the 90s, Sy Tuk (Simon Hemingway) was on the verge of a promising acting career in London. But behind the scenes, a much darker story was unfolding. The allure of addiction pulled him into a relentless downward spiral—one that cost him everything. His career. His relationships. His dignity. Almost his life.

But recovery isn’t just about quitting—it’s about rebuilding. A battle of self-discovery, acceptance, and relentless resilience. Sy didn’t just fight addiction; he fought himself, his past, and the demons that still whisper in the shadows. Every day is a battle, but he’s winning. Now clean, strong, and thriving, his story is one of defying the odds and clawing his way back from the abyss.
