Under laws you don't understand.

How would you cope?

How would you survive?

How do you adapt when everything, your freedom, your identity, your very sense of reality has been stripped away based on something you didn't do?

Well, that was the reality for Barry Holtz.

Barry found out the answers to all of those questions in the worst way possible.

With almost 10 years inside Indian prison.

Taking the fall for someone he thought he knew.

And an ordeal that would test every limit of human endurance.

I thought it was nothing.

India is home to over 1.4 billion people.

It's a country stooped in history, faith, as well as chaos.

The streets are busy, the traffic is wild, it's hot and humid.

But with beaches, mountains, hills and coastline all jammed into a relatively small geographical area, the climate is quite diverse.

It's a country that around 40,000 tourists will visit each year.

And a man from Manchester in the UK was one of those many who loved India.

Little did Barry know that India would end up going from his little piece of paradise to his utter hell.

Goa is a state in western India with coastlines stretching along the Arabian Sea.

It's got a long history as a Portuguese colony prior to 1961 and it's evident in its preserved 17th century churches and the area's tropical spice plantations.

Goa is also known for its beaches and is a very popular tourist destination.
