Despite the offer of a considerable reward, these tiny, exquisitely detailed carvings are never seen again. A woman slips into a museum and steals several rare Japanese netsuke, including the famed fox-girl. Assigned to run a mobile canteen, navigating treacherous roads and dodging hostile gunfire, they become embroiled in life-threatening battles of their own.
