The Smithsonian is preparing to ship a rare artifact back to China. The bad news? The bronze rooster is fake. The real piece disappeared years ago, and if China discovers the theft, diplomatic relations are sure to deteriorate. Expert thief Nicolas Fox and Special Agent Kate O'Hara must team up to steal it back. The stolen piece is with Carter Grove, a former White House Chief of Staff. He is one of the best con men on the planet. His compound is impenetrable: there is no way to enter undetected. The plan? Get Grove to invite them, and then simply walk out the front door with it. After all, it's just a rooster; how hard could it be? The plan is genius, but there is a new problem. The fake is leaving early, so now they need to infiltrate a private jet to make the swap before the piece hits Chinese soil.
