Trust No One

Seventeen-year-old Ben Hamer knows it's never a good sign when the cops know your name.

Unfortunately, being harassed by the police and questioned about being the son of a career thief has started to become his norm. Only this time, when the police stop Ben for jaywalking by his school, he has an audience. The new girl in Ben's grade, Abigail, notices his exchange with the police and asks him out on a date.

It starts out as the best date of Ben's life until Abigail stops to run an errand and rushes out of the store shouting, "Go, go, go!" As they race away, Ben realizes he has just become an accomplice in a robbery. Abigail takes off with the money, and Ben is worried the police won't give him a fair chance because of his criminal father. He needs to track down Abigail and make a plan to get his life back, but the cops are closing in and time is running out...
