With the authorities hot on his trail, the shady entrepreneur, Christos Terakis, leaves behind him the bustling port city of Alexandria, to pick up where he left off in Athens. In search of a gullible victim to work as his drug trafficker, Terakis enlists the help of the unscrupulous former convict, Loukas, who introduces his innocent stepdaughter, Elli, to him. Before long, Christos is back in business, profiting from Elli's ignorance and her desperate need of cash, unbeknownst to her, however, that her charade doesn't sit well with her suspicious boyfriend, Andreas. More and more, the noose tightens around lambs and wolves alike, and then, a sharp letter opener and a gruesome murder enter the picture. Can there be redemption for the guilty fallen angels?
