Stratos Gazis hates being called a contract killer. What he is, is a conscientious fixer. He fixes problems that are only mentioned in whispers. That very few can fix. Things that people are willing to pay handsomely to get done, without wanting to know about the small stuff
- just that the job was carried out. Stratos is their man, provided that his meticulous research shows him that the targets deserve their fate. As he says, ”I`m a kind of Robin Hood.

Of their lives.” But now, in the midst of the Greek economic crisis & political turmoil, during a melancholy winter which makes life in Athens even more unbearable than usual, this film-noir loving caretaker with the strict moral code is about to get involved in the most high-profile case of his contract killer career.
