Graham Calloway inscribed for the V.I.L.E. academy in search for something more. But he never imagined that this 'something more' would be a young girl known as Black Sheep.

As Carmen builds a reputation as the elusive thief who always stays one step ahead, Graham finds himself caught between loyalty to the organization that gave him a future and the girl who taught him to question it. Across continents, heists, betrayals, and years of separation, both will be forced to decide who they truly are and what they are willing to sacrifice for the people they care about. This is the story of how Black Sheep became Carmen Sandiego, how Graham Calloway became Crackle, and how two people standing on opposite sides never stopped changing each other's lives.
