Harry Sands (Ray Winstone) and his wife Joanna (Lindsey Coulson) are concerned when their daughter, Olivia (Rebecca Clarke), fails to make her regular weekend communication from Istanbul, where she is supposedly working as a charity volunteer. When Harry receives a call from Olivia's best friend, Manda (Emily Corrie), stating that Olivia hasn't been seen or heard from in two days, Harry decides to fly out to Istanbul to track her down. Upon his arrival, he meets with the British console Tom Wilson (Owen Oakeshott), who informs him that the police have begun their search for Olivia.
Harry later meets with Manda, but is shocked to discover that neither she nor Olivia have been working for the charity as they previously claimed - and that they have both been working as erotic dancers in the East/West club, run by Arto Fazouk (Kayvan Novak). Harry goes to speak to Arto, but discovers there is much more on offer at the club than just erotic dancing. Meanwhile, Harry learns that Olivia was sent flowers by British businessman Peter Vine (David Westhead), whom he suspects may have been grooming Olivia.
Harry then meets with local Inspector Yilmaz (Haluk Bilginer), who explains that the police have no solid evidence on which they can raid Fazouk's club. However, when Harry later meets a friend of Manda's, who previously worked at the club, she explains that a young Danish girl, Elena Ekstrom (Marit Velle Kile), disappeared in similar circumstances several months ago. She explains that Fazouk's father, Metit (Dimitri Andreas), took a shine to Elena and suspects that he has taken her to his private house on a nearby island. She also reveals that Metit also took the same shine to Olivia.
