Synopsis

Don Tait was obsessed with getting clients off and keeping them out of prison. Sometimes that barely kept him on the right side of the law. He got off on the challenge, excitement and raw passion that brought him fame, fortune and devastation. This is a story about addictions - to love, career, sex, alcohol and drugs. It is about giving hope to legions of the addicted from a man who had it all and lost everything. It is not about giving false hope, but a journey to discover how one's man road to hell and then recovery can help them find their own path to a better life. This is also about love and redemption. Don Tait looked for love and acceptance in the arms of multiple women, in the admiration of colleagues and in media coverage. He needed it from his daughters and his wives, from his clients and anyone who came into his sphere. Nothing worked. The self-loathing born in his youth haunted him and controlled his relationships and professional life. He damaged almost everyone from whom he sought love, leaving their lives in ruin. In his own ruin he finally found strength and spirituality and, eventually, a path to redemption.
