Summaries

An ex-wrestler becomes a junkie. When his cousin dies from heroin-use, he wants to take revenge and goes after the big boss.

With his glory years as a prizefighter far behind him, washed-up veteran wrestler Stefanos is now with his back to the wall. As a result, Stefanos has become a mere shadow of his mighty former self, pushing drugs on the mean streets of Athens to stay afloat. However, life is a series of unexplained events. And when the brutal drug dealer crosses paths with blonde-haired teenage runaway Xenia, change is afoot. But not everyone deserves a second chance at life. Now, a vicious drug baron and his murderous jackals threaten the fighter's newfound bliss. Because, whether he likes it or not, Stefanos is nothing but an insignificant cog in a well-oiled, multimillion-dollar machine. Is the scum of Athens prepared to play with fire to earn his freedom?—Nick Riganas
