Chipper is a very special dog. As part of a top-secret, multi-million dollar experiment to create the ultimate canine spy technology, Chipper’s whole life has been spent within the walls of a secret organization known only as The Institute.

When Chipper escapes and his and Jeff’s paths collide, dog and boy find themselves tangled up in the most dangerous game of chase imaginable…
