But that's all about to change His FBI handler, Marcus, has a job for him Is it a bank robbery? Counterfeit ring? International espionage? Actually it's middle school pranks.

So Florian and Margaret are going undercover to see if they can use their TOAST skills to figure out what's going on before the media gets hold of the story. However, once the crime-solving pair arrive at the school, they discover that there's a lot more than a few pranks going on and the conspiracy of silence reaches all the way to the top. Then a student vanishes in the middle of a concert at the Kennedy Center and things take a sinister turn Can Florian and Margaret save the day? Or are they about to get toasted?
