Hustle

Mickey returns from Australia to find that the old team is no more. Danny and Stacie are still in America working long cons, Ash has been reduced to grifting in bars and Eddie was forced to close the bar and is working as the head waiter in a restaurant. Even Albert is out of action finding himself in jail. He does have a mark for Mickey however, an attractive young woman Sarah Naismith

With a new team ready for action, Mickey focuses on Carlton Wood and Harry Fielding, high tech entrepreneurs who have essentially robbed a small-business of a valuable patent. Ash is worried that their new mates are a little too inexperienced to undertake a complicated con but Mickey decides there's only one way to test their mettle.

Albert is due for parole and a key member of the parole board is Judge Kent. Years earlier he was alleged to have been involved in a gold bullion robbery but,after the main robber died, the whereabouts of the loot were lost and he never received his pay-out.

Due to a mix-up jewellery fence Frank gives Mickey a valuable diamond necklace, rather than a fake ruby needed for a scam. Obsessive diamond collector Tony Baxter, anxious to acquire the necklace, has Frank hospitalized and the team plan their revenge on Baxter, persuading him to buy a fake necklace whilst they pass the real thing onto his rival.

The con artists set their their sites on Rhona Christie, a Member of Parliament who is not only ruthless in her business dealings but is also lining her pockets. She's very discreet however and working through intermediaries, keeps her own hands clean; she is, for all appearances, the hard-working MP with only the people's interest at heart.

The con artists seem destined for trouble when five of their most recent victims join forces to get their money back. High tech entrepreneurs Carlton Wood and Harry Fielding were taken for £500,000 and they recruit the others.
