A light-hearted comedy of errors built on mistaken identity and the escalating tension of a criminal forced to impersonate a cop while investigating a real crime.

Ilias dresses himself in a police uniform as part of a complex burglary plot. Unfortunately for him, the impostor officer is called to assist in the investigation of a real crime. The other officers involved in this case treat him as a colleague, and he is forced to play along in hopes that his cover is not blown.
