Heat

Synopsis

During a tense family vacation in Nafplio, Alexandros Krimizis finds himself suffocating under the disapproval of his powerful in-laws. Seeking escape, he goes for a drive—only to collide with Claire, a young woman on a bicycle. Their brief encounter sparks an instant, undeniable attraction, leading to a passionate night that neither of them can take back.

That same night, a renowned journalist, Vicky Voulgari, is struck in a hit-and-run on the very road Alexandros traveled. When the police question him the next morning, fear drives him to lie—especially as all evidence points straight at him, and Claire becomes the only person who can confirm his alibi. Vicky’s sister, police officer Marina Voulgari, arrives determined to uncover the truth.

As the investigation deepens, families fracture, secrets explode, and forbidden relationships ignite. Caught between guilt, desire, and suspicion, Alexandros and Claire must face the ultimate question: is what binds them love—or simply heat?
