Forty-three-year-old Dominic worked as a driver for gang leader Vincent
for four years, lying to others that he was merely an ordinary private chauffeur. One
night, he missed his daughter Lulu’s important percussion concert, only to find Lenny,
badly injured and bleeding, in the back seat. Defying his boss’s orders, he refused to
return the wounded man to the gang and instead took him to hospital.
This act exposed his past involvement transporting stolen goods for the gang. He lost
his main source of income and drew retaliatory threats from Vincent. His ex-wife
Sheila planned to move inland with Lulu. Dominic secured permission for a two-day
cross-country road trip to drive his daughter to her new home — yet the gang would
not let him walk away so easily.
Dominic had to confront his criminal liability while mending his father-daughter
relationship, which had been badly damaged by lies and broken promises. The story
traces his full journey: confessing his offences, cooperating with the legal system,
and receiving a four-month prison sentence; maintaining limited contact with his
daughter throughout his incarceration; and struggling to find honest employment
after his release
