Ashley Arthur is a teen thief, stealing from the rich to keep her family above the breadline. While she is an expert in fast moving and fast thinking, her best friend Benjamin, an artist at manipulating all things electrical, provides technical support. The duo hatch a daring master plan to rob Hammond Buckland - the richest businessman in the world - of a mysterious item hidden in his company headquarters, reputedly worth $200 million, and it's going to take every trick in their arsenal to find it and smuggle it back out. But once inside the building, Ash comes face-to-face with Michael Peachey, a hitman hired to kill Buckland, and now she's seen Peachey, he won't stop until he's killed her too. In her desperation to escape - and still get the prize - Ash becomes embroiled in events more deadly than even she could ever have envisaged. Die Hard meets Hustle in an explosive collision of con-artistry, assassins and double-crosses in this fast-paced teen thriller.
