Steal

What it’s about

Zara Dunne works as an investment trader at Lochmill Capital, a pension management company. One ordinary day, armed thieves burst into the office and force her and her best friend Luke to carry out their demands. The robbers make the traders execute transactions worth £4 billion, wiping out the savings of every investor. In the aftermath, detective Rhys Covac investigates the crime, trying to identify the perpetrators. His attention turns to Zara, who conducted the deals and had the most contact with the robbers.

What hooks you

Sophie Turner plays Zara Dunne, the trader at the centre of the raid. Jacob Fortune-Lloyd appears as detective Rhys Covac; preparing for the role, he consulted a retired senior inspector from the London police. The series is directed by Hettie Macdonald and Sam Miller, with a screenplay by Poppy Cogan and Shyam Popat.

Who it’s for

It is worth a look for anyone who likes crime stories where the line between victim and accomplice blurs, and for viewers drawn to heist thrillers that focus on the aftermath rather than the break-in itself.
