Michael and Melissa are twin brother and sister. They constantly bicker and crack jokes at each other, even when they're on the job. Their job: The two best thieves in the world. From Paris, to Tokyo, London, and anywhere that has items of high value. Even if the item is bolted to the floor, Michael and Melissa will find a way to steal it. The bickering, comedic twins have a one hundred percent success rate. Interpol is frustrated with them. One night, on an easy heist in Cairo, Michael and Melissa reach the museum they plan to burgle. Only to find that the item they came to steal is already gone. Someone had beat them to it. This trend begins to happen over and over. New York, Hong Kong, Belgium. Michael and Melissa soon learn through rumors, that a woman named Astrid has been purposely thwarting their heists to get their attention. Astrid wants Michael and Melissa to help her pull off the biggest heist of all time, which is robbing the catacombs of the Vatican. A heist that could be worth billions. The twins don't trust Astrid, but the reward outweighs the risk in their minds. If they pull this off, Michael and Melissa will be set for life. And their names will go down in history. But the twin's constant bickering and joking makes robbing the catacombs of the Vatican more difficult than it already is. Astrid can't even begin to fathom how these two are the greatest thieves in the world, but she needs their help. The game is on. Will they succeed? Of course they will. There's not a thing in this world that Michael and Melissa can't steal.
