A young Russian hitman undertakes a job in Greece. He carries it out, but during a routine police check, he's arrested. A female singer, also from Russia, has seen Aliosha leaving the murdered man's office, and she is the main witness against him. However, when she is brought in to identify him, for reasons unknown, she protects him, saying he looks nothing like the hitman. Aliosha's employers become afraid and decide to kill him, while the police, who have never stopped suspecting him, start following him. Will Aliosha manage to elude all the traps set by his employers and the police? And why did this woman he had never met choose not to turn him in? Who will unlock the secret that these two keep?
