The book narrates Wayne Anthony’s experience as a promoter in the groundbreaking Acid House music scene of late 1980s Britain. It chronicles his battles against authorities and the evolving culture marked by ecstasy use, while candidly acknowledging the mental health risks associated with drug use. The narrative reflects both hedonism and a cautionary message for future generations.
