Mountainous Tymphaea, Epirus, Greece. After years of back-breaking work as a Gastarbeiter in West Germany, Kostas returns home: a cold, rain-swept, nearly abandoned village of widows and decrepit stone houses. But there, a cruel fate awaits the unsuspecting husband, who meets his end at the hands of pitiless wife Eleni and her heartless lover Christos. However, as the infernal couple tries to cover up their tracks, before long, they raise suspicion about Kostas' unaccountable disappearance. Now, as hair-raising flashbacks chronicle the hideous crime, weaving an intricate web of re-enactments, the police and the investigating magistrate have the final say. What happened that fateful night?
