Story:
Frank Collins (Timothy Bottoms) is an American journalist living and working in Sweden married to Ingrid (Lena Endre). When Ingrid's ex-husband suddenly disappears in Turkey in mysterious circumstances, he decides to go to Istanbul to unravel the disappearance. He brings his daughter Mia.
Possibly the only clue lies in a video cassette sent to them in Stockholm prior to the disappearance.
On arriving in Turkey events take a dangerous turn when Frank and Mia meet the ambiguous and beautiful Maud (Twiggy) and they find themselves implicated in a ruthless political murder with perilous repercussions. Atkins (Robert Morley) plays an important part in uncovering the mystery.
