Athens, Greece. Luca resorts to armed robbery to finance his dream of studying Method Acting in New York. But the robbery goes awry when he injures Ilias, an innocent bystander. He later visits him in the hospital to "silence" him forever, but instead they become friends. Together they navigate the blurred lines of friendship and deceit. Two unlikely friends find purpose in each other's company. Luca introduces Ilias to the world of acting, taking him to the brink. As the audition approaches, Luca grapples with the weight of his actions. His pursuit becomes a driving force, leading him to confront his past and the complicated emotions he never thought he would face.
