    InPortland, Oregon, teenager Kaitlyn's parents have divorced.[2] Her mother is ready to sell the family home. A family friend gives Kaitlyn two pigeons, and in studying the details of pigeon care and racing, Kaitlyn learns that a pigeon breeder with a valuable racing pigeon lives nearby. Kaitlyn and her best friend steal the pigeon and sell it to the Russian Pigeon Mafia, but the rightful owner finds her school bag on his roof, and so is able to track her down. Rather than turning her into the police, the breeder decides to work with Kaitlyn to recover the pigeon.
