De Brit David Scott vertelt hoe hij de liefde van zijn leven vond in de Filippijnen en daarbij 14 jaar gevangenisstraf riskeerde, voor overspel.
British man David Scott couldn't have been happier when he met Cynthia, a pretty Filipino woman, on the internet. After a six week holiday together in the Philippines he's delighted when she becomes pregnant but their joy turns to despair when Cynthia's estranged husband starts making trouble. Using the Philippines' adultery laws he has them thrown in jail and the couple face up to 14 years in prison. Worse still, they discover under Filipino law their baby legally belongs to her ex-husband and it's up to him what he wants to do with her. With time and money running out they decide to go on the run and escape to Thailand. It's a risky plan, Cynthia is jumping bail and if she's caught will be in even more trouble. When David is stopped at customs they think the game is up but it turns out to be a problem with his visa and once they've paid the excess fee they are able to fly to safety. Finally, after a year long ordeal, David Scott arrives back home in Swindon with his 7 month-old baby girl, Janina, and his soulmate, Cynthia.
