In the small town of Jasper Springs, two typical kids, Whiz Tanner and Joey Dent, go from model rockets to magic to sports as many kids do. However, things are much different when they form the Tanner-Dent Detective Agency. This agency is not just kid's play. Whiz (Agent M) and Joey (Agent K) solve real-life crimes. In their first big-time encounter they find themselves caught up in an art world mystery--complete with lost masterpieces and forgeries. Will they live to solve the crime? They are not so sure.
