Pericles (Peri) Pontakis, investigative journalist and host of the
controversial TV show Under World, is fighting a losing battle
against corruption in the upper chelons of Greek society. He has
little to show for a life's committment to social justice, except a
ruined marriage, two alienated children, a mountain of debt, and a
multitude of powerful and dangerous enemies. Among his many
admirers and acquaintances, his only true friends are Jack, his
feisty cat, and the down-and-out journalist, Christos, to whom he
lets the apartment below. When his life starts collapsing around
him, he decides to change tack and make a documentary about the
threatened Loggerhead turtle, in the hope that this 'undemanding'
project will enable him to save not only the turtle but his own
soul. However, the path to salvation is strewn with unforeseen
obstacles, some of which prove not altogether unpleasant.
