When you think of a con artist you would not think of a 14 year-old girl. As long as her parents, Caleb and Daniella Parker, kept their secret life of cons and crime far from young Alyssa, everything would be fine.
    The Parker's plan of secrecy was going well until a mysterious crime leader asked them to do a job in the United States. The job promised a payout large enough to get their daughter through college to a better, crime free life. So, in thinking of her future, the Parkers went against their better judgement and took the job.
    When things go wrong on the job, it leaves Alyssa to fend for herself and find the man responsible for ruining her life with her parents' one, final big score that would change their lives forever.
    She never would have been the college type anyway.
