One day, Sheikh Selim (Ben Kingsley), the ruler of an oil-rich Gulf country, who has been tracking Diane has her drugged, kidnapped, and brought to his harem overseen by eunuch Massoud (Dennis Goldson). Despite Diane's initial protests, as the two come to appreciate each other, they fall in love.

Eventually, he takes the radical decision to evacuate his isolated castle.
