However, everything goes horribly wrong when Keane's boss Jimenez double-crosses him. In an attempt to save his life, Keane escapes with the statue and finds refuge in a monastery in Tibet, where he meets Nun Valentina, a female spiritual leader.

Valentina warns Keane against the deadly tigress named Debby, allegedly responsible for the killings of several individuals in the region. Nonetheless, keen to redeem himself, Keane ignores her warnings and sets off on his journey alongside his newfound acquaintance Fidel. During their journey, they face a series of challenges, including a double-crossing Tibetan dealer who threatens to expose Keane's Identity and a run-in with the tigress.
