Project Description
A high ranking government minister with a colourful past is sent on a delicate diplomatic mission to Istanbul. But when his trip ends up in a horrific bar room brawl, social media explodes and the enigmatic darling of a political party becomes Europe’s most wanted an overnight. Chased by the authorities, damned by relies leasers, pursed by those looking for vengeance and head-hunted by fanatics, his Odyssey begins.
