Max thought that spy films and TV shows were much more exciting than real life.

No comparison. The only excitement in his life is the superhero story he starts writing to earn some more money.

But then his Dad gets hired as a chauffeur, and the swag from the Hatton Garden Diamond Robbery is accidentally left in his car.

The police arrest his Dad (yes, with handcuffs and everything), and then the thief's thick heavies break into their house.

Max and his sister have to run out into the night. If they are ever going to get Dad free, and get the baddies locked up, Max and Kaz realise they must do it themselves.

After a few set-backs, Max is amazed to find himself living the life he has seen in his favourite films, even down to phoning 999 and watching the baddies struggle to break away, only to be overpowered in the end by the police!
