The deadly maid and ex-terrorist Roberta begins her quest for vengeance and she's not going to quit even if the trail takes her deep into a web of intrigue involving the U.S. military. The city's criminal gangs realize the danger of too much U.S. government attention, and the crew of the Black Lagoon is drawn into the search for the renegade killer maid from Hell. But Roberta's dance of death won't be over until everyone has paid the price in blood.

Later, half a world away in Venezuela, a bomb blast shatters what calm Garcia and Roberta have managed to restore to their lives.
