In un futuro non troppo lontano, Toorop è un mercenario americano silenzioso ed efficiente, sopravvissuto alle guerre che hanno devastato il mondo all'inizio del ventunesimo secolo. Bandito dal suo paese, stanco, impermeabile alle illusioni e deciso a ritirarsi, viene contattato da un pezzo grosso della mafia russa per una missione di estrema importanza: scortare da Mosca a New York una ragazzina di nome Aurora e consegnarla alla papessa di una nuova e potente religione. Poche spiegazioni, molti misteri, troppi soldi. Ma Toorop accetta.
