On a foggy night in Amsterdam, a man falls from a rooftop to the wet pavement below. It's Alfie McQuinn, the notorious cat burglar, and he's dying. As sirens wail in the distance, Alfie manages to get out two last words to his young son, March: "Find jewels."

But March learns that his father is not talking about a stash of loot. He's talking about Jules, the twin sister March never knew he had. No sooner than the two find each other, they're picked up by the police and sent to the world's worst orphanage. It's not prison, but it feels like it.

March and Jules have no intention of staying put. They know their father's business inside and out, and they're tired of being pushed around. Just one good heist, and they'll live the life of riches and freedom most kids only dream about.

Watch out! There are wild kids on the loose and a crime spree coming . . .

Very interesting story.

One night in Amsterdam Alfie McQuin (cat burglar) fell from the rooftop and was dying. Right before he dies he mumbles to March (his son) "Find jewels". But soon March learns that his father wasn't talking about loot he was talking about Jules, the twin sister March never knew he had. Soon they find each other but then sent to an orphanage (the WORST orphanage) because the people there act FAKE( meaning they are so nice to the point that it is FAKE!) March and Jules don't want to stay put.... so what's their plan?
