Heist

From acclaimed director Doug Liman ("Mr. & Mrs. Smith," "The Bourne Identity," "The Bourne Supremacy") and Emmy-nominated writers Mark and Robb Cullen (FX's "Lucky") comes a series unlike anything else. Driven by unforgettable characters, intense action and suspense, high comedy and surprising romance, this fast-paced, serialized drama includes an ensemble cast of burglars Dougray Scott ("Dark Water"), Steve Harris ("The Practice"), Seymour Cassel ("The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou"), Marika Dominczyk ("North Shore") and David Walton ("Stateside") and detectives Michele Hicks ("The Shield"), Reno Wilson ("Blind Justice") and Billy Gardell ("Yes, Dear").

Mickey O'Neil (Dougray Scott), professional thief, assembles an expert team of career criminals to attempt one of the biggest heists in history. Their plan: simultaneously rob three of the most renowned jewelry stores on Beverly Hills' famed Rodeo Drive during Academy Awards© week. As this intricate web of deceit unfolds, we learn that there is more than mere monetary gain fueling Mickey's actions.

Meanwhile, Amy Sykes (Michele Hicks), lead detective for LAPD's Robbery/Homicide division, heads up the task force investigating a series of robberies pulled off by this new crew. Under incredible pressure from her superiors, she must figure out not only who is behind the crimes but also what larger, future job they are leading up to.

The twist... As Mickey O'Neil sizes up Detective Amy Sykes, the two unexpectedly fall in love.

"Heist" is produced by Hypnotic, NBC Universal Television Studio and Sony Pictures Television, and directed by Doug Liman.
