* Requires a PAL-compatible television * (UK, Europe & Hong Kong) Life, death, love and lust in the dark underworld of London's West End...
A Red Moon Production, a Wayne Gerard Trotman film, Ashes to Ashes is a raw, humorous action-thriller involving greed, betrayal, the Chinese Triads, martial arts, the Italian Mafia and male escorts.
An uncompromising story of a struggling screenwriter who finds himself fighting for his life after a brief encounter with the mistress of an underworld boss.
The Writer The Story revolves around Gabriel Darbeaux, a young screenwriter and martial arts enthusiast who supplements his income by escorting wealthy women. Gabriel's latest screenplay is a thriller entitled 'Ashes to Ashes'.
The Girl When a chance encounter brings the beautiful and mysterious Arabella Simone into his life, Gabriel finds that the dangerous world of the Italian Mafia and Chinese Triads, featured in his screenplay, is now his reality.
The Tarantula For Sicilian Valentino Tarontola, there is only one thing worse than stealing his money; stealing his mistress. When Gabriel is suspected of both, the 'Tarantula' sends his most trusted associates to seek him out.
The Laundrymen Dirty men for dirty work. Afro-British Muhammed Armen and Triad Enforcer Nelson Kong lead the cast of villains. Cool and sadistic, Muhammed enjoys burning his victims whereas Nelson favours the 18 weapons of Shaolin. Together with Nelson's brother Raymond, his cousin Ming and the Jamaican Leo they form the infamous five.
The Gigolo Caught up in the confusion is Michael Trent, Gabriel's reluctant best friend. Michael enjoys the intimate company of women (for a substantial fee) and is as fond of himself as Gabriel is fond of martial arts.
The Banker's Wife Felicity Wood is Michael's favourite customer. Unfortunately her husband Richard is Valentino Tarontola's 'personal banker'.
