Kostas is a policeman, divorced with a child and a mother in a nursing home. He has a hard time financially so he often steals jewellery from the dead he carries to the morgue. His ex-wife, Andri, works as a cleaner but she too is struggling financially since Kostas doesn't always pay the total alimony they agreed upon. At the same time, Kostas maintains a relationship with Elena, a woman who lives with her mother. One day, Kostas and his colleague Andreas are called upon to transport a dead, old woman who happens to be Elena's grandmother. Kostas steals a cross from the woman and puts it with other stolen jewellery in a box of cookies that he hides in a kitchen cupboard. One night, when Elena spends the night at Kostas' apartment, she discovers the box and things start to get complicated.
