Summaries

A woman, obsessed with tracking down the man who she claims killed her husband, targets her eldest grandson as her instrument of revenge.

Manos, a Greek school teacher, is forced to travel to Melbourne, Australia when the man who murdered his grandfather 57 years ago surfaces there. While the reluctant Manos is tutored in the art of revenge by old friend Stephanos, he also attempts to patch things up with his former fiance Nicki. Things get complicated though when the peaceful Manos learns that his volatile twin brother George has also come to town and is more than happy to carry out the vendetta.—Heath Chamerski <[email protected]>

Spanning three generations and two different countries, somehow, the bloody and long-standing feud between two antagonistic Cretan families still manages to exist, fifty-seven long years after that fateful incident in 1943. As a result, the meek elementary schoolteacher, Manos, much to the disappointment of Yorgos, his tough-as-nails, gun-toting twin brother, is burdened with carrying the destructive vendetta through to completion. However, when someone spots the target in far-off Australia, Manos will have no other choice but to pluck up the courage and fulfil the dream of his vengeful grandmother, Maria. Before the end of this dangerous quest for revenge, nothing, and above all, no one will remain the same. Can love show the way to forgiveness?—Nick Riganas
