Detective Nasos Oikonomidis investigates the disappearance of nine children of Athens' rich and powerful families; the truly shocking nature of the case is much deeper than what it appears.

Thalia, local journalist and aunt to two of the missing children, finds herself simultaneously covering the case while thrust into the middle of it as a prime suspect all at once.

The parents of the missing children scramble to come up with the outrageous ransom demanded by the kidnappers; Thalia and her family are ostracised as questions about her involvement reach a boiling point.

Emerging evidence exposes the cover-up of a bullying scandal; some of the parents begin to distrust the police and hire a private investigator; Thalia comes face-to-face with one of the kidnappers.

When the kidnappers increase the ransom, Nasos concludes the motive is much more than money; Nasos faces pressure from his superiors.

After 23 days, there is still no breakthrough in the case; Nasos comes under pressure from higher ranks to cut the kidnappers off from Thalia and reach an immediate agreement.
