Chris Wilson grew up in a violent neighbourhood in Washington, USA. By the age of 13 he was already carrying a gun to protect himself from drug dealers. At 16, he had already buried five of his friends. On a summer night in 1996 Chris got involved in a street fight and killed a man. He was sentenced to life in prison for murder and thought his life was over. But while serving his sentence Chris completed a ‘masterplan’ which won him another chance at life. Chris co-wrote a book about his story called The Masterplan.
