NOTHING screams vulnerable more than a woman wandering alone on a Cyprus beach resort clutching a copy of Wuthering Heights.
Sally Lindsay plays Emma, recently divorced from Pete (Neil Morrissey), estranged from her embittered daughter Susie and in desperate need of escape.
So she heads off for a sunshine holiday in Cyprus, ready for some much-needed rest and relaxation.
But she’s immediately swept off her feet by Niko (Gerald Kyd), the wealthy and handsome owner of her hotel.
There are trips to secluded beaches, romantic meals, dancing and sex… and he’s seemingly so genuine and charming. Then he suggests she move into a beautiful villa with him.
To the horror of her loved ones back home, Emma decides to turn her back on her life in the UK and go for it. And when Niko needs what he says is a short-term loan to complete the villa purchase, Emma happily lends him the money.
The red flags are everywhere, but Emma is blinded by romance. It’s no surprise to the viewer when Niko, her money and her dreams of a new life suddenly vanish.
Emma’s initial hope that it’s all a misunderstanding soon gives way to panic as she sets out to track down both him and her money.
Desperate, she descends into a shadowy underworld of con men where nothing is as it seems, and uncovers an even more twisted truth as she battles for justice.
Sally says: “The script is so clever in the way Emma is emotionally manipulated into acting the way she does. I didn’t see what was coming.”
