Hayley's romantic, carefree holiday suddenly becomes an electrifying surprise in suspense!

Overview

Young English girl Nikky and her aunt arrive at the Moon-Spinners, a hotel on Crete, to a less than enthusiastic welcome. The coolness of the owner is only out-done by the surliness of her brother Stratos, recently back from London.
