debut of TV director Alex Pillai. Ashley Madekwe stars as Tia, a
middle class girl from the Home Counties who becomes caught up in a
world of crime when she goes to stay in the London council flat of
her cousin, Davina (Anna Nightingale). Much to her cousin's
displeasure, Tia becomes increasingly involved with one of her
friends, Tyson (Ashley Chin). As she becomes closer to Tyson, Tia
discovers that he has his own complex and very personal reasons for
turning to a life of crime.

With virtually no experience and absolutely no support, Adrian
rides a basic stock motorbike 20,000kms across nine countries in
three months to fulfill a lifelong dream. He sets off from the
bleak, windswept former gulag gateway city of Magadan in a remote
corner of Siberia, but before the day is out he crashes badley,
breaking his bike and seriously injuring himself. He is completely
alone. He struggles on through swamps, bogs and mud tracks and
nearly drowns in the icy rapids along Stalin's infamous Road of
Bones. Although it is summer in Siberia, it is freezing and the
driving rain is relentless. When the sun does appear, he is
attacked by fierce squadrons of giant mosquitoes and, with wild
bears roaming, he cannot stop, often riding for days at a time.
Sheer physical strength saves his life on numerous occasions. He
battles on deep into central Russia, across the vast Steppes of
Kazakhstan and on through the scaring Taklimakan Desert in remote
western China. He scales the breathtaking Pamirs and rides across
the roof of the world before entering the fabled Silk Road cities
of Samarkand, Bukhara and Chive. He scurries across oddball
Turkmenism, and on across ancient Persia before finally arriving at
his destination, exotic Istanbul. At every turn, Adrian is adopted
by a vast array of characters, each with stories to tell and who,
extraordinarily, expect nothing in return; tough Siberian truck
drivers, frontier road workers, border guards desperate villagers,
drug-addled soldiers and crazy modern-day traders, each insisting
that he join them in their homes to share their lives and most of
their provisions. It is these encounters which provide such a rich
and compelling subtext to his extraordinary journey.
