Former safe-cracking spy, Maggie Silver, likes her new life as a regular high-school girl. Mostly. Okay, so there's the usual cliques, bad lunches and frustratingly simple locker combinations, but there's also her new boyfriend, Jessie, and insanely cool best friend, Roux. So when her parents are falsely accused of a crime, Maggie and her new team flee to Paris where she will have to use all her skills as a spy in order to clear their names. Too bad it only puts her and everyone she loves in danger.
