"Aphrodite smiled bitterly. She defied revenge, the counterattack, the written laws - which sometimes prove weak to rectify situations - and the unwritten ones that replaced them. The "mediators" who took on the task of implementing them and the "shocks" that fixed some things but ruined others."

A story that begins a century ago in Crete and ends in present-day Athens, following the lives of three generations of people. Lives that were shaped by "counterattack" and their belief in customary law. In a place of bravery and absurdity at times, where a man believes that revenge should be taken into his own hands, the shock fixes and saves situations, preventing them from turning into vendettas. Although the shock is the ideal solution, the price that the heroes of the story, Sifis, Katerina, Aphrodite, Andreas, Apostolos, Rhenio, Manousos, and Anesa, have to pay is displacement, the sacrifice of love, and compromise.
Their stories are captivating and full of twists. Their lives, marked by various social and historical events, sometimes provoke anger and other times draw us in to share their emotions.

"It is all that you have harbored within you, what you are right about but are forced to apologize for, it is those screams that roar inside you, those are what become reapers and tear apart your existence."
