A rare masterpiece by Picasso is about to go to auction, and the whole world is watching.
But bright art student Halston Graham sees an opportunity. One that could secure millions for her future - and freedom for her wrongly imprisoned father…
To pull off the crime of the century, she must assemble an unlikely crack team: an expert in forgery, a ruthless mob boss, and an eccentric fashion designer.
