The Attack of the Giant Moussaka

In the year 2000, a terrible incident shocks the city of Athens: a huge piece of moussaka appears on the city streets, spreading panic and death. Everyone keeps wondering: why, where, how, for what reason? Everyone, except for Tara and a diverse group of people, who strongly believe they have to make contact with it.
