Half Moon Street

Dr. Lauren Slaughter, professor, emissary, hooker, target.

A tense political thriller that uses an escort's entanglement with a powerful politician to explore power dynamics, manipulation, and the precarious position of a woman caught between two worlds.

Dr. Lauren Slaughter, a research fellow at the Arab-Anglo Institute in London is utterly frustrated by her job. To supplement her income, she starts moonlighting at the Jasmine Escort Service, where she has more control over men and money than she does at the office. On one of her 'dates', Lauren meets the politician Lord Bulbeck who is trying to mediate a peace accord between the Arabs and Israelis. Bulbeck falls in love with his escort, and unwittingly, Lauren becomes a pawn in some very dirty politics.
