Juno Temple plays American debutante Lucy Savage faced with a culture shock. David Costabile will play Lucy’s larger than life father, Grant Savage, an arms manufacturer who wants to control his daughter, wiith Amy Landecker as his loquacious wife Vanessa. Having set Lucy up with an English Lord, Hugo Cavendish Smythe (played by Harlots, Poldark and Star Wars star Hugh Skinner) Grant thinks he has a malleable, potentially useful son-in-law but
unbeknownst to the Savages, Hugo has already lost his heart to someone else. Matt Lauria will be Bill, a bartender and bohemian artist who works in neighbourhood nightclub El Sirocco and soon becomes a confidante of both Lucy and Hugo. Although he is not what he seems and his flirtation and the hand of friendship offered to Lucy and Hugo is very much a cover for some more nefarious motivations. As Lucy fights to carve out her independence and identity, her life becomes intertwined with Cherifa Lamour (Yumna Marwan), a Moroccan dominatrix who services the diplomats and foreigners of this colourful, bohemian world and Egyptian Aristocrat Adham Abaza (Raphael Acloque), and they all become entangled with some very dangerous characters. Nina Sosanya, Rossy De Palma, Jean Marc-Barr and Raphael Acloque also star.
