So when news of a shocking kidnapping breaks, Anna and Fin do the responsible thing. They take off to solve the case.   Lisa Lee, a young YouTube star, has vanished after answering the door to what she thought was a pizza delivery. Police suspect her dad or the delivery guy, but in Lisa’s last known video she ventured into an abandoned chateau in France, where she uncovered a priceless artifact.
