However, after discovering some dark secrets about her home, she turns her back on her former colleagues and begins to stop their evil heists for valuable artifacts. To do so, Sandiego assembles a small team to help her travel the world and fight against V.I.L.E.’s operatives. Another force working against Sandiego is Detective Chase Devereaux, who throughout the show, attempts to arrest her.
