What happens

Thief is a 2006 American thriller crime drama miniseries starring Andre Braugher as Nick Atwater, a master thief and leader of a heist crew, balancing his personal life with the planning of a major heist. It aired on FX from March 28 to May 2. The pilot was originally ordered by Fox back in 2002, but did not move forward until Braugher signed on. Despite critical acclaim, the show failed to garner significant ratings and FX declined to extend the series. Each episode features a different song performed by multiple Grammy Award nominee Anthony Hamilton. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
