Once on the brink of destruction, and even, death, the former drug-addict, social pariah, and now a rehabilitated car mechanic, Yorgos, recounts the events that led to his rapid downfall, and the untimely demise of a dear friend. Yearning to have a slice of the good life without breaking a sweat, Yorgos and his band of equally troubled friends--Loukas, Fanis, and the teenage runaway girl, Athina--summon up the courage to organise a street robbery in broad daylight. However, fate has other plans in store for the brazen trio of ne'er-do-wells. Can there be forgiveness for the dangerous Athenian jackals?
