Simon Ferguson, a 64-year-old from North Wales, is trapped in Dubai following the collapse of his aviation business. Facing mounting debts, visa overstay fines, and a seized passport, he is forced to sleep on a sofa with a rescue cat colony. Despite ongoing efforts to secure a brokerage deal and investor funding to repay his debts, Ferguson is considering surrendering to immigration authorities as a last resort to secure his return to the UK, fearing the alternative is long-term imprisonment or suicide.
