Jack likes to think of himself as a criminal mastermind...with an unfortunate amount of bad luck. A schemer, plotter, planner, trickster, swindler... maybe eve a thief? Of course, he's not out for himself so much as he's trying to take the burden off his momma's hardworking shoulders. She'd understand, right? He hopes she might even be proud. One fine day Jack picks a target a little bigger than the usual rich guy, and one tiney bean turns into a giant big building-destroying beanstalk. With a pack of angry giants eager for his head, Jack is forced to leave Shyport City. But when he returns with Rapunzel (and her trusty braids) by his side, fixing to right some old wrongs, they must use a pixie from Jack's past, a man with inventions for the future, and all the plotting and planning in the world to out-swindle the giants and save Shyport in a fairy tale-tainted city as it catapults Jack and Rapunzel into a fantastical adventure.
