Aprašymas

Like many new arrivals to Canada, Hermann Beier came to this country with big dreams — visions of a wide-open country where hard work and entrepreneurial flair would make him rich. A charismatic handyman, martial arts teacher, and small business owner, he charmed women and earned the respect of men. He was loved in his community of Alliston, Ontario, and had a plan to make a million bucks. But when those dreams soured, he turned to crime to pay the bills.

Faced with bankruptcy in 1991, Beier hatched a plan to rob a string of banks in a single day. But it was all too much too fast. Leading authorities from Guelph to Caledon on what was then the longest police chase in Canadian history, Beier was gunned down along a fence in a farmer's field, his body pierced by a hail of police bullets. But that end became a new beginning as he spent almost a decade in Canada's penal system in search of a way to restart his life.
