Mesmerised by the bright lights of the big city, a group of rebellious young friends--Stefi, Charoula, Petros, and Argiris--summons the courage to leave their families to find freedom. Instead, they find shelter in a squalid third-class hotel in Athens. Now, the naive dreamers must face the harsh reality. As the dire lack of money soon leads the at-risk youth down a path of delinquency, Charoula finds herself caught in a doomed romance with Panos, a handsome motocross champion. Before long, an unfortunate encounter with the law sends some of the group straight to jail, while the others plunge deeper into the dangerous world of drug addiction. Having hit rock bottom, could this be the turning point in the survivors' pitiable existence?
