“Is it any wonder I became a bank robber?”
15-year-old Robin McArthur thinks she has it all figured out when it comes to bilking her wealthy dad for
guilt money as a substitute for his genuine affection. Until one day he suffers a stroke, and she learns the
brutal truth. They’re broke. And everyone from bankers to bookies has lined up in her dad’s hospital room
to collect. His only saving grace is what he reveals to Robin in between drools: He truly does love her, in
spite of all his mistakes. Panicked and desperate, Robin figures she has two choices. Either surrender to the pestering caseworker and live in a skanky
foster home, or take a chance and sneak her dad out of the hospital to make a run for it. Little does she
know that stealing a car and hitting the road means that before the day is through, she will rob her first
bank. Now an outlaw, Robin finds a backwoods trailer park to hide her dad from authorities. There, she
encounters Creek, a local bad boy who also commits crimes to provide for their motley neighbors. Realizing
she could use Creek’s help, Robin proposes an ingenious plan—they should team up to rob banks
together. But when their partnership leads to a magical romance that turns Robin’s whole world upside
down, she soon begins to discover that people are more precious than pocketbooks, and real love means
opening your heart to the kinds of treasures money can’t buy .
