Disinherited by her family for one public scandal too many, [[SpoiledBrat spoiled heiress]] Pixxi de la Chasse reluctantly goes to work for a repossession company to make ends meet. Turns out she's really, really good at it. Looking to make a quick score, she fixates on a missing train with a one million dollar bounty - not realizing that the caboose is filled with [[WeaponOfMassDestruction WMD's]] and a squad of eco-terrorists to boot.
