Things are disappearing mysteriously from Will Shakespeare's acting company, and it looks like an inside job.

Everyone's eyes are on Widge, the orphan boy turned actor, and former thief.

Widge knows better than anyone that Shakespeare's plays must be protected at all costs. In order to prove his innocence and clear his name, Widge must learn a new role- spy.

But can he dig through the suspects and skulduggery and catch the true culprit?
