She earns her living by stealing from others. And Dani has been her accomplist for as long as she can remember.  The job means they move around a lot and Dani has no roots.  But now they have moved to a resort town called Heaven.  Here Dani starts to make friends and even has a boyfriend.  The boyfriend happens to be a police officer and her new best friend is their next mark.  What is a girl to do?
