A female hotel manager and her male accomplice, murder a German gangster to steal his diamonds. Soon, other members of the gang arrive to find out what went on.

Former prostitute Bella runs a cheap hotel in the bustling port of Piraeus. Drowning in boredom and debt, Bella uncovers a life-altering secret: a tenant has been hiding a stash of diamonds right under her nose. So, without delay, Bella hatches a daring plan to eliminate the lodger and claim the treasure for herself with the help of her brawny dockhand lover, Simos. However, their schemes take an unexpected turn when Sorokos, a dangerous gang member, arrives at the hotel looking for the precious gems. As the return of Greco, the formidable ringleader, triggers a deadly game of manipulation and betrayal, the question remains: what good is a handful of diamonds when you're dead?—Nick Riganas
