Storia
Bangkok Hilton follows Kat Stanton, an Australian woman searching for her father, as she travels from Australia to London and then Bangkok. Along the way, she meets Arkie Regan, a charming photographer who tricks her into carrying his luggage through Thai customs. Unknown to Kat, Arkie has planted drugs in the bag, which are discovered during a routine airport search. Imprisoned in the notorious 'Bangkok Hilton' prison, Kat awaits her fate, facing potential capital punishment. Inside, she befriends fellow inmate Mandy Engels, who is sentenced to death. Meanwhile, Kat's lawyer Richard Carlisle and ex-pat Hal Stanton work tirelessly to secure her release.
