Nathan Ford and his five-member team of thieves and hackers come together like modern-day Robin Hoods in an attempt to steal from rich and powerful individuals who take advantage of others.
The action follows former insurance investigator Nate Ford and a small team of cons, who are hired to recover a set of stolen aviation plans for aerospace executive Victor Dubenich. When the team, made up of Parker, an expert thief, Alec Hardison, a computer hacker and Eliot Spencer, a so-called retrievals specialist discover it’s they who have been conned into stealing the plans for Dubenich, they recruit international grifter Sophie Devereaux and stage an elaborate con to recover the plans and discredit Dubenich, with Ford as their mastermind. The con results in a life-altering payout for each member of the team, and the discovery that each develops a taste for using their skills to do good. With Ford as their reluctant leader, they set up business as Leverage Consulting and Associates, first in Los Angeles and later in Boston, helping ordinary people who have fallen victim to fraud, theft, cons and other misdeeds by corporate America. Using their individual skills, they turn the tables on the mark, staging elaborate cons that bring the mark to justice.
