The year is 1996. 24-year-old Jimmy Irvine quits the tombstone grey skies of Scotland for the sun-kissed beaches of Dubai. A news reporter and small-time club DJ, Jimmy soon becomes exposed to the city’s underbelly of organised crime - a seedy world which has infiltrated the cabin crew of an Arabian airline.

Strict sharia laws govern the country where premarital sex is a crime, homosexuality illegal, drugs sentences severe and censorship is regularly imposed across the media. But Jimmy is not subservient to authority. He is hell-bent on pushing boundaries, finding the scoops and daring to organise Dubai’s first desert rave, whatever the consequences.
