A high-energy heist-action comedy that pits a master thief against a vengeful magician wielding genuine supernatural powers, balancing playful irreverence with genuine stakes.

Lupin steals an extraordinary gem from a Mediterranean party, only to be interrupted by Pycal, the trickster "magician" who had apparently died fighting Lupin early in his career. Pycal, now armed with real magical abilities, is determined to take revenge.
