Description
Top London con artist, Mickey Stone, is out of prison and keen to get back in the game. His old team-mates have been busy while he’s been inside. To hit one last score before he retires, Mickey
wants to put his old team back together. However, two police officers are on to them and are keeping a close eye on their moves and one con is never enough...
Each episode’s plot focuses on a different “long con”, often targeting a “mark” whose activities are immoral and/or illegal. For each mark, the team focuses on background research to uncover any
issues they may face as well as a weakness in them that they can exploit.
Once they have a plan, the team set up a scenario, employ a “convincer” to rope in their mark, and then hit them with the sting. Although conmen, the team also display a moral, honourable
code within their team, which includes sometimes helping others who have been victims of their mark, often with anonymous compensation to them.
