Hustle

The Hustlers visit sunny Los Angeles for their first con without old leader Mickey. New boss Danny is out to prove himself and talks them into a scam, which might prove to be way over their heads. In the land of movies and stardom, can the gang get away with selling the famous Hollywood sign from high in the Hollywood hills?

Back in the UK, Danny is convinced the team needs a new grifter and begins interviews, but the candidates aren't quite what the rest of the team are expecting. Dickie Brennan, a ruthless porn baron, is keen to own a prize-winning horse and the gang of con artists are willing to oblige, despite knowing nothing about horses. While all this is going on, will anyone take any notice of Billy Bond, who'll stop at nothing to join the gang?

The grifters' favourite barman, Eddie, is in trouble, with the owner of his father's nursing home holding him to ransom. Veronica Powell is a ruthless businesswoman but she has a weakness - her wine collection. However, she's more wily than most and time is running out for Eddie's father. Can Danny think of a decent con, or will the team go bankrupt trying to convince her?

Clarissa Bartwell is an immoral woman with a passion for fashion. Using the story of the emperor's new clothes as inspiration for the con, Billy steps up to play the inside with Danny. However, there's someone hanging around who's threatening to blow their cover unless Billy hands over 20,000 pounds in cash. Can Billy keep the threat at bay until the con is complete?

The gang is celebrating another successful and lucrative con, but the fun soon ends when they are taken hostage on their own territory, Eddie's bar, by a man who accuses them of dishonouring his family. This time it's personal, not about the money. Have they gone too far, or can they find a way of negotiating themselves out of it alive?

The team fly out to Las Vegas when they find out Albert has been beaten up by mafia boss, Johnny Maranzano. The revenge is the apple of Johnny's eye - the Big Daddy fruit machine with its $5m jackpot. Can they find a way of robbing a casino that never closes and is under 24/7 security without getting caught or even killed?
