Synopsis

When two police officers arrived out of the blue at Paul Connolly's door, he learned the shocking news that, out of the eight children with whom he had grown up in care, only two were still alive. The revelation unearthed painful memories of a childhood that, until this point, Paul had tried desperately to put behind him.

Abandoned at two weeks old, Paul came of age in the infamous St Leonard's Children's Home in East London. The children there were routinely abused, often over the course of many years.

Angry and frustrated, Paul channelled his rage into boxing but when an accident shattered his ambition to turn professional, he found his true calling and became a successful trainer, even working as a consultant on the pilots for a top model s fitness video.
