Summary

Valentine’s Day 2015 was supposed to be a day of romance and "International Authentic Dishes" at Sunderland’s famous Borneo Bistro. But for 28-year-old Christopher Baker, the only thing on the menu was a desperate, drunken, and poorly calculated scheme. After finishing a full buffet meal, Baker stood up and pointed to a "pockmarked" visitor on the floor: a live black-and-white rat.
