Zara (Turner), an average employee at Lochmill Capital, finds herself at the middle of a criminal conspiracy when an armed gang storms the office and forces her and her colleague Luke (Madekwe) to carry out their plan. DCI Rhys (Fortune-Lloyd) is assigned to the case but must hide his own gambling relapse as he navigates the layered agendas behind the massive pension fraud.
“Steal” marks the screenwriting debut of crime novelist Sotiris Nikias, who wrote the “City Blues Quartet” book series under the pseudonym Ray Celestin. The show is directed by Sam Miller (“I May Destroy You,” “Black Mirror”) and Hettie Macdonald (“Normal People,” “The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry”).
