FBI Special Agent Dylan Hobbs is determined to make the magicians pay for their crimes-and to stop them before they pull off what promises to be an even more audacious heist. But he's forced to partner with Alma Vargas, an Interpol detective about whom he is instantly suspicious. Out of desperation he turns to Thaddeus Bradley, a famed magic debunker, who claims the bank heist was accomplished using disguises and video trickery.

Or could it really be...magic?
As pressure mounts and the world awaits the Horsemen's spectacular final trick, Dylan and Alma race to find an answer. But it soon becomes painfully clear that staying one step ahead of these masters of illusion is beyond the skills of any one man-or woman...
