In a village in Crete, called "Paramythia", there lived a very beautiful girl who was poor and picked olives on the fields of others, Asimmo.

In "Paramythia" lived a handsome young man who was a noble, Panagos. The two young lovers fell in love and exchanged vows of love. But a noble cannot marry a gatherer.

Thus, Panagos retracts his promise and the betrayed Asimmo faces the scorn of the village. She considers throwing herself off a cliff... But no, she does not settle for social injustice and decides to take revenge.

With a lie of hers that spreads like a rumor throughout the village, she sows disaster. Multiple murders begin to occur between Christian and Muslim Paramythians...
