27th November 1918, London. Just 16 days after the end of the Great War, with the nation on its knees, Billie Carleton takes to the stage for the last time. She is found dead the next day in her bedroom. The cause of death: a cocaine overdose. The drugs were traced back to the Chinese community in Limehouse. And for nearly half a century, Billie Carleton’s case was to linger in popular imagination: a cautionary tale of the relationship between young girls, dope and predatory men. This is the story of how drug use was transformed into a national menace. It’s the story of how morphine and cocaine, once commonly available in any chemist’s shop, became the subject of vicious narratives targeting racial minorities and the working classes.

But these versions have always been told from the outside, only capturing half the truth, and never from the intimacy of his own home. Now, more than two decades after the full-fledged manhunt finally caught up with Escobar, his son brings us the dramatic truth as never before.
