Henry Murke has been called into action and joins the war effort to battle side by side his fellow man. The military quickly realizes that Henry has a special skill and won't clue him into what that is¸ just that he has a new mission; to survive and end the suffering of men and their families. Henry is not allowed to carry a gun¸ be a medic¸ a priest or aid others in any way¸ except take their tokens and return it to the dead soldiers' family. Other soldiers disdain him and find him weak since he doesn't fight¸ but they all know that wherever Henry goes; death and destruction is imminent. Henry is a black cat of bad luck but must complete his mission. As the war continues¸ his memories of his wife and son begin to wane and his bag of collectible items grows¸ only weighing him down. The bag is a symbol of his life and burden. Henry's mental state begins to deteriorate¸ he grows more and more jaded and only hopes to find a way out of his predicament.
