Based on Kilo Forty by Miles Tripp. In this tense, psychological thriller set in a remote part of Egypt, French ex-pats, Hélène and Philippe, are on holiday with their English friend, Foster Smith, and Haik, an Armenian businessman. Foster Smith finds a woman's mutilated body on the beach and, with Hélène apparently missing, the scene is set for a game of bluff and double bluff that will leave two others dead and the hapless Foster Smith the fall guy yet again.
