As the murderer flees the police, seeking refuge in the rugged and desolate mountains, he crosses paths with two other fugitives: the hardened revolutionary and escaped convict, Kosmas, and the young farmer with the haunting past, Argiris. As a result, their only hope for survival and a fresh start is to cross over the vast sea where freedom lies; however, the lack of money will soon force the dangerous outlaws to stain their hands with blood. Now, only death can purge their souls; but, is all hope lost?
