[edit] Plot
Maddy is a 12-year old girl who loves to climb. Several years earlier, her father fell more than 100 feet while mountain climbing, resulting in him being paralyzed from the neck down. An experimental operation, costing $250,000, can save him, but their family doesn't have the money. Maddy and her two best friends, Austin and Gus, break into a high-tech bank vault, designed by Maddy's mother, to get the money. The vault is suspended 100 feet above the ground, and Maddy must use her climbing skills to get to the safe. Her friends use their computer and mechanical skills to defeat the bank's high-tech security.
