It’s midnight on a deserted street in Athens. A young woman is stabbed to death by a stranger, who instantly slips into the shadows. The alleged perpetrator, John Zachos, is a mentally unstable young man who fantasizes about killing women. He believes this gives him a sense of empowerment and validates his manhood as dictated by society at large. After his arrest, he immediately confesses to the murder, but during the trial it becomes apparent that his testimony is a recreation of what he reads in the press and is full of inconsistencies. The search for the truth is hanging in the balance and the battle between society and individual continues to rage.
