Over Koupepia, a traditional Cypriot delicacy, he meets Eleni - a British Cypriot Transgender Woman. The two appear to have nothing in common but bond over the food of their heritage reframing Petros’ relationship to his son, queer people and the Cypriot identity. Can people be more than is what we assume?

The sudden death of a LGBTQI-friendly surgeon in a sleepy seaside town is ruled an accident, but two patients, a frustrated gay crime author and a young trans traffic warden, suspect murder. The women soon find themselves unlikely partners in an amateur investigation, dangerously unaware of what it will take to uncover the true identity of the surgeon, his killer and themselves.
