Film Synopsis

Sandra, a young Italian, finds herself trapped in London after falling for Miles Rennberg, a debt-ridden golden boy with an appetite for sordid sex games.  The relationship is turbulent and is clearly heading nowhere so, one day, Sandra decides to end it and flees to Hong Kong.  Hoping to start a new life here, Sandra hooks up with a young couple, Lester and Sue Wang, who offer to provide her with identification papers and money.  Things are not quite what they seem, however, and Sandra soon finds herself caught up in a very dangerous game...
