The body of an iconographer is discovered in a deserted location, and soon officers from the Violent Crimes Unit discover that he was involved in an antiquities smuggling ring. At the same time, a young artist, Ermis, agrees to create a copy of Persephone's Hand, a coveted piece of ancient art, on behalf of Stergios, a gallery owner and looter. Ermis needs money both to satisfy his ambitions and to bring his girlfriend, Yulia, from Ukraine to Greece. The officers discover the trail of Stergios' spiral and weave a risky plan to penetrate it. And they will succeed, just in time when Ermis' missteps are about to lead to disaster.
