Ten years earlier, the European Union granted Vasilis Arvanitakis, a big fish in a small pond, sufficient funding to build a cultural centre. However, instead of using the money for its intended purpose, he spent it on signing a Brazilian player with questionable skills for the local football team. But as is often the case with dreams, cash and luck eventually run out. When two incorruptible European financial auditors unexpectedly show up to investigate, Vasilis attempts to wriggle off the hook, but his efforts are in vain. With the law tightening its grip around him, can Vasilis use his wits to outsmart the auditors before he loses everything?—Nick Riganas
