Gary Eastwood started his business with a £100 loan from his grandfather. Now his hugely successful scrap metal business is worth £20 million. For nine days Gary lives a secret life in Blackpool where he looks for and is introduced to people who may need his help. He starts work as a volunteer in the local homeless shelter, where he meets a recovering heroin addict whose harrowing story forces Gary to confront the ghosts of his own past. Gary’s sisters were both victims of a heroin addiction that eventually resulted in their tragic deaths.
