Oscar-winning actor Timothy Hutton stars in this darkly comic drama about a group of criminals who have a thoroughly modern take on the concept of social justice. Led by Nate Ford (Hutton), who has experience as an insurance investigator, the team extort money from targets who really deserve it--people who have harmed others themselves. But robbing the innocent is a very different thing from robbing the guilty in the minds of these warped Robin Hoods, and with a team comprised of a mastermind, a cat burglar, a con-woman, a hacker, and a veteran thief, they're prepared to exert their moral philosophy on the cretins of the world--and make a good living while they do it.
