His father Datiko is in a wheelchair, his mother emigrated to Greece to earn money there as a singer. His brother Shota has a modest job on a fishing boat. When the owner decides to sell it, the brothers buy the boat as a way of securing their income. They take out a mortgage on the house to raise some cash, and a friend gives them the rest of the money they need. However, the latter has other plans with the boat and gets the two involved in the sordid businesses of some criminal backers.
