Fortellingen kombinerer klassisk krim med det nyeste innen actionsport. Spenning for mellom-/ungdomstrinnet.

De fire ungdommene Ben, San, Charlie og Break har en hang til ekstreme sporter og ekstreme kriminalsaker. Alle fire er gode skatere, i tillegg har de sine spesialiteter. San er en fullbefaren hacker. Ben er en mester i parcour (en form for ekstrem turn). Charlie, jenta i gjengen, er klassisk turner. Og Break er kongen på skateboard. Sammen må de renvaske Charlies far, som er blitt beskyldt for å ha stjålet et Fabergé-egg. Den eneste måten å gjøre det på er å gå etter de virkelige skurkene. Fortellingen kombinerer klassisk krim med det nyeste innen actionsport. Spenning for mellom-/ungdomstrinnet.
