The young Christoforos works as a porter in the vegetable market of Rentis. He reads the biography of Gutenberg, is captivated, and dreams of entering the world of printers.

Achilleas is a godfather of the night. His world revolves around dirty money, protection rackets, and settling scores.

They will meet due to an accidental incident, and a deep and sincere friendship will be born.

Struggles for a living, but also forgeries of old books, kidnappings, cigarette smuggling, love affairs and infidelities, but above all, true friendships with integrity, will mark the heroes of the book.

Ballet dancers, dreamy porters, goons, half-crazy hitmen, straight and bisexual men, Freemasons, jazz musicians, prominent doctors, housewives, and luxury prostitutes, pharmaceutical companies with mob-related activities, form a cast with protagonists and extras in the realistic pages of the novel.

And until the end, questions linger: Do people create their own lives? Or is it predetermined? Do the stars make mistakes?
