Quicksand was filmed in South France between December 2000 and January 2001, originally set for a 2002 release. Martin Raikes is a bank investigator who is sent to Monaco to check up on the shady dealings of a movie production. After the business trip, he'll then fly over to London to visit his daughter. When Martin arrives... in Monaco, he is met by the film company's CFO, Lela Forin and washed-up action star Jake Mellows . Something is rotten with the production, though, and Martin senses it. Unfortunately, he sticks his nose in a little too deep for the corrupt bankrollers' tastes, and is soon deemed a threat to them. Martin is first offered a mega-bribe, but he rejects it. As it turns out, the bankrollers are Russian mafia, led by Oleg Butraskaya .
