In this episode we meet Kim Berglund, whose life story is unlike anyone else's. Kim was a promising hockey talent with great prospects, but adolescence came with doubts and a shocking family secret turned his self-image upside down. In search of a new identity and success, he was drawn into a shadowy world where steroids became his ticket to fast money and international business. Soon he was at the center of a business worth millions of kroner - but success had its price. Everything came crashing down when Kim was arrested in Thailand in a coordinated operation with Swedish and American authorities. Accused of drug production and betrayed by his own contacts, he was sentenced to death and forced to survive nine years in some of the world's most brutal prisons. In an everyday life characterized by violence, disease and corruption, Kim fought for his life - and not to lose himself. Today, Kim is a free man, but the fight is far from over. He works to expose the corruption and controversial practices that shaped his destiny, while trying to build a new life from scratch.
