Athens, 1996. The heatwave is suffocating. The secrets are lethal. And the past has a way of branding you for life.
Stefanos is a man living on borrowed time. A former police officer hiding in a basement apartment in Kypseli, he is a shadow of the man he once was-haunted by the 1991 explosion in Perama that decimated his elite squad. His only link to reality is Elena, his partner and fiancée. She is the only one who stayed. The only one he can trust.
But their fragile peace is shattered when a body is discovered in the Athenian underworld. The victim bears a gruesome mark: a perfect, circular burn on his chest.
Stefanos and Elena recognize it instantly. It's the Ash Seal-a car lighter brand used as a torture method by their own unit years ago. A secret that should have died in the flames of Perama.
As the temperature rises and more bodies surface, Stefanos and Elena must dive back into a world of corrupt high-ranking officials and ruthless gangsters. But in a city melting under the sun, the line between justice and vengeance begins to blur.
Someone is hunting the survivors. Someone knows exactly what happened in 1991. And they won't stop until every witness is turned to ash.
