DDarren is an amateur racecar driver from London who has come to Istanbul to take part in the Gumball Rally. Darren is married, but he's hoping to find some action on the side while away from home, and he meets Rachel, an attractive English woman.

Mike Figgis
Born in England and raised in Nairobi, Kenya, director Mike Figgis studied music in London. After being turned down by the National Film School, Figgis bankrolled his own 60-minute TV movie, The House (1976), gaining an entree into mainstream filmmaking. In 1988, Figgis made his feature directorial and screenwriting debut with Stormy Monday, which received a moderately strong reception. Earning probably his greatest recognition for his successful direction of Richard Gere in Internal Affairs (1990) and the near-surrealistic Mr Jones (1993). However, it was with his highly acclaimed Leaving Las Vegas (1995) that the director really hit the big time. Figgis followed up this success two years later with One Night Stand, which received only a lukewarm critical reception. Figgis rebounded in 1999, with The Loss of Sexual Innocence, and Miss Julie, starring Saffron Burrows and Peter Mullan.
