When Kim and Kelly attend a sleep over party no one thought they¿d be sneaking over to an abandoned psychiatric hospital late at night.

While the other girls are running around and having fun, Kelly and Kim discover footprints, fresh paint, car keys and many other curious items.

Robberies at nearby art galleries and odd findings in the insane asylum have the girl¿s curiosity running wild. Using teamwork and perseverance, the young super sleuths are determined to get to the bottom of the strange happenings going on in the abandoned buildings and solve a most curious crime.
