Mallory Richards, a bright American college senior with serious hacker chops, is on the precipice of landing her dream job printing the Euro, the first new currency in the twenty-first century.

 

When an accident leaves Mallory’s father dead and her mother in a coma, Mallory discovers that her parents were once international art thieves—and that an original Monet still hangs in their basement. In a letter written before his death, Mallory’s father reveals that he had been planning to steal 30 million of the new Euros before their official release. He challenges his daughter to follow in his footsteps by pulling off this “perfect job,” to pilfer the very money she had been so excited to help create.

 

Using her father’s plans, Mallory hooks up with his former partners and heads to France for the heist. The theft goes down, and Mallory is comforted by a sense of being closer to her lost parents—but it isn’t long before she discovers that the thrill of being in league with criminals is not worth the risk.
