The keepers

The story is set in Hawaii and moves to Japan in the boldest heist in its history: the jeweled swords of Emperor Shomu, housed since the 8th century in Shoso-in, repository of Imperial Treasures. Doug, ex-Green beret embittered by the Vietnam war, has a cattle ranch on the island of Maui and a hobby of "fast draw" six guns. Beautiful Maile, descended from Hawaiian royalty, believes in ghosts. Jet-set Judy seeks thrills beyond sky diving. Her father Ben, real estate tycoon, is a secret collector of Japanese art. Genji Taro, 20th century samurai, lives by the rigid code of medieval bushido. The love triangle is complicated when Judy joins the thieves.
