The novel retells the stormy life of Aristeidis Pagkratidis (1940–1968), the young man who went down in history as the "Dragon of Sheikh Sou". Nine characteristic figures take turns to speak, each in a language shaped by their experience, character and role. Their raw testimonies sketch the mood of Thessaloniki after the Occupation and the Civil War, while lighting up the dark sides of a tragic young man.
