Lin Baba's life is difficult to describe in one word. He was an idealist, a philosopher, a poet, then a drug addict, a robber and a wanted criminal. Destiny threw him to the other side of the world - Mumbai, India. There he became the first white man to integrate into the slums of Mumbai. He learned how to bathe with clothes on in rural India; he lived in a slum and became a beloved doctor; he joined a gang, engaged in smuggling and arms trading, and rushed into the hail of bullets again and again; he fell in love with a woman with green eyes, and fell into a deeper secret... He witnessed many deaths, but also found real life. His story is much crueler, braver, and passionate than others.
