Unfortunately, before the teen can play in those shoes, they are stolen by a shady collector. On their way to New York, Ty stumbles out of the box and gets separated from his sister.
Now, Ty, with his friend's help, must find his sister, who plans to escape the collector on her own as well, and make their way back to Edson before his game. As per filmratings.com, Sneaks is rated PG by the MPAA for some action, scary images, and rude humor.
