In 344 BC, Ancient Greece stands at a moment of deep uncertainty. Athens, once a dominant power, still shines as a center of philosophy, culture, and democracy — yet beneath its proud surface lie political intrigue, personal ambition, and quiet struggles for power.
Aristocratic families fight to preserve their influence, skilled orators manipulate public opinion with carefully chosen words, and the growing shadow of Macedon looms ever closer. In the narrow streets of Athens, philosophy coexists with corruption, justice with revenge, and honor with betrayal.
Within this fragile political and social landscape, a murder is never merely a crime. It is a reflection of the era itself. Every witness carries secrets, every testimony has weight, and every silence may prove fatal.
