Summary

Jackie Nichols grew up in Los Angeles in the mid-1970s. While working at a nightclub in LA, she had a chance to work at a club in Japan. A vacation to nearby Nepal turned into a job smuggling hashish back into Tokyo. More jobs followed. Jackie was caught, and her trip back to freedom turned into a profound journey of self-discovery.
