Plot: In high hopes of exposing a well-connected drug-smuggling ring, Charidimos Siontis, an unorthodox police officer and the newest recruit of Athens' Narcotics Squad, goes undercover to infiltrate the criminal underworld. With the memory of his addicted brother's untimely death etched in his mind, Siontis will soon come face-to-face with a well-orchestrated conspiracy and an elaborate character assassination, leaving him no other choice but to go against the sluggish and corrupt system to get results. Now, not only his reputation but also his life is in grave danger. Can the incorruptible officer find the clever-as-a-fox mastermind, and put an end to the abuse of power?
