Damon was an associate of Sampson who Brendan Brady kidnapped in July 2012. Brendan told Damon that Sampson hurt a close friend of his, and if Damon did not tell him where Sampson was, Brendan would use Damon to get to him. Simon Walker entered the storage unit and Damon tried to escape, but Brendan revealed that he was armed. Brendan threatened Damon's family, so Damon told him of a shipment of drugs Sampson had imported worth millions.
