Kostas is a policeman, divorced, with a child and a mother in a nursing home. He has a hard time financially, so he often steals jewellery from the dead bodies he transports to the morgue. His ex-wife, Andri, works as a cleaner, but she too is struggling financially since Kostas does not always pay the full alimony they agreed upon.

At the same time, Kostas maintains a relationship with Elena, a woman who lives with her mother. One day, Kostas and his colleague Andreas are called upon to transport the body of an elderly woman who happens to be Elena’s grandmother. Kostas steals a cross from the woman and places it with other stolen jewellery in a cookie tin hidden in a kitchen cupboard.

One night, when Elena stays over at Kostas’s apartment, she discovers the box, and things start to get complicated.
