One Kid's Fantasy. One Cop's Nightmare.
In this family-friendly action reboot of the 1993 film, Karina Foley, an ambitious and spunky 12-year-old, inserts herself in a police investigation of the Badge Bandit, led by the grizzled, veteran detective Mark Simmons.

Through wit, skill, and green smoothies, Karina and Detective Simmons save the day and build a strong relationship in the process.
