Hustle - Season 1 Episode 1

A sophisticated band of con artists fleeces the greedy and corrupt in London. They are led by Mickey Stone, a master of very complicated "long cons" and his protege, Danny Blue, an impetuous former pickpocket, pulling off a series of daring and intricate stings.

Pilot Episode:

Mickey Stone has just been released from prison and is dying to do what he does best -- the long con.

He re-assembles his team - Ash Morgan, Albert Stroller, and Stacie Monroe - and they set their sights on Peter Williams, who clearly likes money far too much.

Their scam is simple -- convince Williams that they can get stock information a fraction of a second before it becomes public allowing them to buy before the price goes up.

They have two problems, however. The first is Danny Blue, a con artist in his own right who wants in on their scam. The second is the police who have them under constant surveillance. Not only must they test Danny, but they also have to find a way to fool the police.

The Hustle focuses on a group of con artists who specialize in "long cons" – extended forms of deceptive frauds that require greater commitment but offer higher rewards than simple confidence tricks.
