Plot Overview

Hired by an art dealer to bid on a valuable sculpture of a bird, Rockford is ambushed by thugs who try to steal the objet d'art, and it is smashed to bits as a result. As it turns out, there are three sculptures in the set, all very rare, and Rockford doesn't give it a second thought as to why his client wants these sculptures so bad. A mysterious woman who's also interested in the birds may hold the answers, and the two guys who attacked Rockford earlier are working for her.
