Turkey suffered tremendous economic and psychological damage as a result of "Midnight Express" and more than 30 years later they are still trying to escape the stigma. So when a group of young Turkish Policemen reach out to their mortal enemy, Billy Hayes, and invite him back to Istanbul for a conference, no one is more shocked and thrilled than Billy himself.
