Speeding, dangerous driving, working crazy hours, these heavy goods vehicles can be a menace. Truckers were involved in 413.000 accidents last year alone, killing 4800 people and injuring more than 100.000 others. And their behaviour off the road is just as worrying. Certain drivers indulge in drug dealing to supplement their incomes, and the use of prostitutes at the service stations is common place. Some of these vulnerable women are attacked or even murdered and the truckers' itinerant lifestyle makes them difficult for the police to catch.
Who are these people? What leads some of them to behave in such a way? We follow the progress of novice trucker Leon as he embarks upon a new career as a long-distance driver. He discovers that the solitary life of a trucker comes with a unique set of stresses, strains and temptations.
