Former street worker Tommy Raki shares his remarkable story. After being abused in state care multiple times he ran away to K road, the red light district of Auckland.

Not long after he was engaging in street work to survive and found himself immersed in the Auckland night life. After years of violence, drugs and abuse he's now managed to find happiness, and encourages many of his former street worker friends to do the same.
