It's thirty years after the end of the military dictatorship, and former Junta-opponent Favieros is a successful man. His building company is flourishing and preparations for the 2004 Olympic Games are in full flow. What, then, has made him decide to shoot himself on live television in front of a million viewers? Nobody suspects foul play, with the exception of the methodical Inspector Costas Haritos, on medical leave, and looking for any excuse to relieve his boredom and to escape the suffocating atmosphere at home. The event awakens his curiosity, and propels him to launch his own investigation. Then, when two equally spectacular public suicides - of a politician and a famous journalist - take place, indifference turns to panic amongst the police, who have little to go on. Inspector Haritos is called upon to help unveil the secrets buried on the victims' past, and it seems that the key to the mystery is inextricably linked to the political scene in modern-day Greece.
