In a corrupt and crumbling society, where every life has its price, addiction and regret are the only human qualities left.
When Sonia Varika is pulled from the fire, her body is burned almost beyond recognition.
For her ex-lovers, Police Colonel Chronis Halkidis and Simeon Piertzovanis, the landlord of the gutted property, her fate is a heavy reckoning. Fuelled by their twin addictions to cocaine and alcohol, they are gripped by a fanatical desire to uncover the truth behind the blaze and hold those responsible to account.
A classic noir thriller, unflinching in its examination of violence and corruption, but tender in its treatment of human weakness.
