Film Synopsis

Perry and Gail are an English couple who are enjoying a pleasant holiday in Marrakesh when they meet Dima, a Russian millionaire.  Both fall prey to the Russian's seductive charm and in no time they come to regard him as a friend.  Neither suspects that he is in fact a member of the Russian Mafia, his role being to launder money for the criminal organisation he has sold his soul to.  It so happens that Dima is eager to put his criminal life behind him.  After he and his family have received death threats from rival gangsters, he wants out and believes he can make a fresh start by furnishing the British secret services with valuable information.  This is why he needs Perry and Gail - to act as a go-between in his carefully thought-out plan.  Before they know it, the English couple are drawn into Dima's scheme and find themselves lost in a dangerous maze of intrigue that takes them all over Europe.  Their only hope of getting out of this hellish labyrinth alive is to ally themselves with a British agent whose methods are far from orthodox...
