Cara, Lillian and Emilia are three women of a certain age who have one thing in common – a love of animals. Sadly, on the Mediterranean island they call home there is appalling animal cruelty and after learning of a puppy’s death in a cardboard crushing machine, the three friends decide to do something about it – they then find themselves responsible for one of the most intriguing, and in some quarters celebrated, crime sprees in modern Cypriot history.
