Before he jumps, a bullet finds him. His last word: “Odysseus.”

In 1975, as terrorism rises across Greece, the country’s secret services launch “Odysseus,” a classified program designed to recruit and train orphaned children from state institutions to become invisible informants in the years to come.

Forty years later, two unexplained murders trigger a new wave of revelations. Police Inspector Christos Kapetanos and Counterterrorism Officer Valeria Rachi find themselves at the center of a rapidly unfolding investigation. Their search for the truth leads them into a dark labyrinth of secrets, where they uncover a deeper motive behind the killings—one rooted in the clandestine “Odysseus” program and the unresolved trauma it inflicted on those who were shaped by it.
