Elektra has everything a woman could desire: youth, beauty, money, an interesting social life. However, she lacks the most important thing of all: love. Her past, steeped in sorrow and loneliness, as she never felt the affection of her parents, has shaped her into a cold and distant character, leaving no room for tender feelings to enter her heart. Everything is turned upside down in her well-ordered life when she is considered a suspect in the murder of her mother, at the villa of her mother's second husband, Christian Porter, in Halkidiki, who also met a tragic end a short time before.

Lieutenant Stefanos Karalis is called to solve the crime and finds himself not only emotionally entangled with Elektra, but also caught up in a major case of antiquities smuggling, in which a mysterious baron plans to steal the priceless relics of the monasteries of Mount Athos, having devised a diabolical plan.

Dark secrets and ghosts of the past slowly begin to come to light, and the two young lovers, swept up in the games of fate that keep them apart for a time, risk their lives in pursuit of happiness.
