Iran, nowadays, a still violent and anti-progressive political regime has risen to power, making life difficult for citizens, even in Tehran. However, it is in the Iranian capital that things seem to be starting to change. Some of the worst members of the regime, responsible for horrible crimes, are being targeted by a very fast creature, which no one has been able to see clearly, except a young teacher. She recognizes the creature, resembling a young blonde woman, with golden skin, eagle wings, also being part lion, antropomorphic and measuring two meters and seventy tall : the mythical mistress of enigmas, the Sphinx ! This one, very intelligent, fast, precise and happy to have recently been freed from Hell, intends to give everyone a lesson as she had the secret many millennia ago on her native land : for her family, the crime doesn't pay and freedom is a sacred right owed to everyone !
