Not Dead Yet...

Leo appears to be just another bum downtown, but he and Libby, Memnet, and Roy share a secret that requires constant vigilance. They live off the grid, in the basement of an almost forgotten museum, and survive mostly by committing petty crimes. Each of them has gifts for surviving; each has weaknesses as well. The only way they make it through each day is by working together.
Major changes are required when they meet Jake, an orphan who witnessed a murder. With killers chasing her, the four adults see no choice but to take her "home" with them, but soon they're all targets. They must leave the museum and create new lives, but with secrets they can't reveal, where can they go? How will they live? Both suspense and comedy result as the "family" lies their way to becoming respectable yet anonymous citizens. Once they have a new home (and after a stunning plot twist), an uneasy peace settles in. Maybe things will work out.
But peace is fragile, and killers don't just give up. In the end Leo's little band must face hardened criminals in order to save themselves and prevent an American tragedy. If they succeed, it will be partly due to help from a green FBI agent but mostly because of their determination to protect each other. After all, they're NOT DEAD YET...
