To solve the hardest crimes, hire the smartest criminal.
Neall Caffrey ist ein schelmischer Meisterbetrüger, Kunstfälscher, Luxusdieb - und seinen Verfolgern immer diverse IQ-Punkte voraus. Jahrelang lieferte er sich ein Katz-und-Maus-Spiel mit FBI-Agent Peter Burke, bis dieser ihn schließlich einbuchtete. Doch dann? Frei nach dem Motto: "Wenn du nicht besser sein kannst als jemand, dann setze ihn auf die Gehaltsliste" machen Burke und Caffrey einen Deal: Der ausgefuchste Betrüger muss nicht mehr in den Knast zurück, wenn er für das FBI arbeitet, indem er hilft, einem ähnlichen kriminellen Genie auf die Spur zu kommen.
