Nico Stravos, a notorious art thief, is facing a lifetime behind bars after her partner-in-crime and fellow thief, Pablo Ramirez, betrays her during a high-stakes burglary. So when she's offered her freedom in exchange for helping FBI agent Will Patterson track down her former partner, Nico sees her chance for revenge and readily agrees. But Will is convinced that Pablo is on an unstoppable international crime spree that will take everything Nico has to shut him down, and while Nico needs retribution for what happened to her, the trust she built up in her old life with Pablo is holding her back. Can she tear it all down to get what she really wants? Or is there something bigger at play than the one-man show she's trying to stop?
