It's hard to forget someone who left your life in a hurry. That's why forgetting Nicole Eddison, aka Nikki Vandome, was hard for James, Kerry and Kyle. In the middle of a mission, she had been expelled from CHERUB after she overdosed on cocaine. Luckily for her, she was adopted by loving parents, both worked at CHERUB, who had adopted twin boys, called Nick, or Nicky, and Alex, before adopting Nicole. After adopting Nicole, they adopted another guy, called Joe, and two girls, Nina and Ashleigh. However there was a twist to these adoptions. Each of the kids were adopted from different places of the world and had participated on missions given by many different children spy associations, however when part-taking in those missions they had been expelled from those associations. While undergoing therapy for recovering from the loss of her real parents, Nicole found out that her adopting parents were hiding something that they wanted to be found but not just by anyone, only by the highest levels of intelligence there were. It was a Janus List. Janus was a two-faced Greek God, and this was a list of double agents from those children organizations, such as CHERUB, USCSS, ASIS, DG... After her parents' attempt to bomb down a bridge, she finds herself trapped. All those organizations had sent members to investigate what the family knew, what they did not know was that Nicole and her adoptive brothers and sister had a plan to make a clean escape and expose the biggest double agents there were, those who nobody would suspect of.
