A grim Mandalorian warrior, who never removes his helmet, works as a mercenary and gives almost all his savings to his kin, who, once a great race, now hide underground and quietly restore their former glory. On one particularly expensive job, a fearsome former imperial assigns the Mandalorian to deliver a certain creature alive or dead. It turns out to be a small cute creature, and the hero — realizing that the client has no good intentions for this Baby — begins a difficult struggle with his own conscience.
