Having left behind her family and a man who cares for her, Marina moves to Athens only to end up working as a cabaret singer. As the prodigal daughter returns home, so does her ignoble past. Will she ever manage to wipe the slate clean?

Having left behind, probably for good, her family, her island of Hydra, and Dimitris, the young fisherman who cares for her, the beautiful islander, Marina, embarks on a solitary journey to find a better future in Athens. But, in the faceless capital, Marina will soon end up working as a cabaret singer in a disreputable joint nestled somewhere in the city's seedy underbelly, as pride and fear mar her cherished memories of bygone times. Then, divine intervention sparks the return of the prodigal daughter; however, Marina's ignoble past, too, has come back to haunt her. Now, a pale ghost threatens Marina's new life. Will she ever manage to wipe the slate clean?—Nick Riganas
