After a clash with a flock of ducks, the military loses its missile into a thick forest.

On the outskirts of the same forest, a woodsman and his lover Vicky are caught redhanded by the local huntress Selma. Vicky runs naked into the forest with the vengeful huntress hot on her heels. Fortunately, an ongoing LARP camp provides a hideout for Vicky who tries to blend in.

Growing tired of the larper’s capture-the-torch games and believing the danger is over, Vicky heads back to the woodsman’s house. To her horror, she finds Selma digging a pit for his remains. Now a witness to a crime, Vicky tries to escape yet again but trips over the lost missile.

As the military arrives on the scene, so do the larpers who in a drunken state mistake the missile for their torch. Now it’s up to Vicky to either run or be a hero.
