has stolen her precious collection of jewelry and family heirlooms.
To get to the bottom of this challenging case, the inquisitive local
police commander decides to dig deep into the opaque past of the
cryptic young woman, following half-baked leads and half-truths. As
the experienced officer tries to connect the dots, unexpected
discoveries about Christina’s personal life come to light. However,
Christina is a hard nut to crack, and the commander has no other
choice but to resort to unconventional methods to shed light on the
mysterious robbery. Now, it is up to Lieutenant Dimitris to help
find the truth. Can he crack the case?
