Mathieu Kassowitz's science fiction film is set in a dystopian future where corporations rule the cities. Mercenary Toorop is hired by Gorsky to pick up a 'package' from Russia and deliver it, via Alaska and Canada, to the high priestess of a new religion in New York. The package turns out to be a young woman, Aurora, accompanied by a nun, Sister Rebeka. But as the journey progresses, Aurora demonstrates other-worldly powers and, for Toorop, what was simply a job becomes a quest for redemption, as he tries to guard Aurora from the various factions that either wish her harm or want to claim her powers for their own use.
