A director is found brutally murdered in the basement of the Plaka Theater. Detective Haris Kokkinos and his colleagues will be called upon to solve a case that is expected to captivate public opinion. Soon they will realize that they will need to search for the motives of the murder in the director's dark past, unraveling a web of common secrets, cover-ups, and violence at the heart of modern Athens.

At the same time, the son of a forty-five-year-old police officer is arrested on charges that will force him to dive into his own family's past. The pressure of time and sealed lips will prove that things are never simple for those who find themselves in the back seat.

In a society where everyone is guilty, some will pay the price, including Haris Kokkinos. The interrogations will compose a mural of the inhabitants of Athens, starring in a story that would not exist if the city did not exist, and nothing will remain in the darkness under its bright sun.
