Set in London, Dirty Pretty Things shows us the seedy and dangerous side of the city that is kept hidden from tourists. Illegally working in a hotel after moving to the UK from Nigeria, former doctor Okwe meets Senay, a young Turkish girl, and the two form a strong bond. After making a frightening discovery in one of the hotel's bathrooms, Okwe realises there's more going on at the hotel than meets the eye. And when Senay gets caught up in the sinister goings-on, he sets out to save her. A compelling, suspense-filled drama with stand-out performances from stars Chiwetel Ejiofor and Audrey Tatou.
