Riley Gray is the daughter of a corrupt cop who taught her all sorts of tricks to turn her into an expert thief. One day, Riley discovers that her father put them in a mess she can only get out of by stealing from the richest man in town: Theodore Maddox. To save her sister, Riley agrees, but eventually gets discovered by the attractive young man to whom she desperately tells the truth. Curiously, he doesn't seem interested in putting her in jail, but offers Riley a deal instead: if she steals an important jewel for him, Theo will pay her father's debt. But why does Theo want that jewel, and what will Riley have to do to get it?
