Katarina Bishop comes from a family of criminal masterminds. Her boyfriend W.W. Hale the Fifth was born into wealth and privilege. When Hale suddenly inherits his grandmother's billion dollar corporation, everything changes. The inheritance forces him into a legitimate world that has no room for Kat or their crew of thieves. Kat refuses to accept this separation. She discovers that someone may have tampered with the grandmother's will as part of an elaborate scheme to steal the company's fortune. Now Kat faces her most challenging heist yet. She must devise a plan ambitious enough to expose the con and save Hale's inheritance. The job will require all her skills and her crew's loyalty. But Kat realizes she might have to choose between saving the company and keeping the boy she loves. The Bishop family specialty is pulling off impossible jobs, but this time the stakes are personal.
