One spring afternoon, in 2015, several people gather at a suburban house in Athens: retired cop Aristotle Vatavalis, a young Czech prostitute and her pimp, a retired flight lieutenant and his jealous wife, a ruthless, bloodthirsty TV host, and the desperate and jobless Zenon Orodynis, dressed as Spiderman. The abyss that separates the members of this odd team swallows them in a deadly trap. They all become unwilling participants of a live TV show of unpredictable cruelty.
The second book of Dimitris Mitsotakis, founding member of the rock /indie band Endelexeia, is a dark comedy and a bleak commentary of contemporary Greek culture.
