Answering a request from Moneygold, King of Revelry, Hugo and Cyco sign on as bodyguards for a trip aboard the luxury sand liner Eltram. The two of them know all too well that any task coming from a Superior can't possibly be as simple as it seems, and their suspicions are soon justified when the sand-ship becomes a battleground for multiple rival factions. Just what plans do these organizations have for the sand liner—or is it the cargo they're all after instead? Numerous Superior Jobs converge upon this jewel of the desert—The Weapon, Murder Princess, King of Burglary, and Over Pilot among them—each with their own schemes in motion. Hugo has no choice but to face the ensuing carnage...but can he emerge victorious in this capriccio on the sands?
