In this episode of the Eventful Lives Podcast, host Dodge Woodall interviews Terry, who recounts her harrowing journey that began with a move to Tenerife in 1996. There, she befriends Antonio, who leads her into a life of drugs. After being caught unknowingly trafficking cocaine from Brazil, Terry faces a ten-year prison sentence in Spain, a situation that spirals into chaos and violence.

Despite her struggles, she reflects on her relationships, including one that turns tumultuous as she ends up in Northern Ireland surrounded by paramilitary activities and further legal troubles.
