The Heist of the Century
Steal follows Zara (Sophie Turner), an ordinary office worker stuck in a monotonous job at London pension fund investment firm Lochmill Capital.

In the chaotic aftermath, Detective Chief Inspector Rhys (Jacob Fortune-Lloyd) is tasked with untangling the crime. Complicating his investigation are his own personal demons as a relapsed gambling addict, secret agendas from powerful entities like MI5, and the growing question of whether Zara and Luke were merely victims or something more.
