The story begins with a woman named Tokyo, in an unkempt condition. She has frequent nightmares. Moreover, she is seen writhing on the bed due to the remembrance of her past life. The professor, our mastermind saves Tokyo from a past robbery and recruits her for a future heist. Tokyo notices that the professor has pre-planned the theft and has a steel strong team of thieves. The Professor has only one rule: no personal relations. The viewers see eight different robbers named after cities.
The first heist is planned for the Royal Mint of Spain. This is just the beginning of the unforgettable experience that the director has in store for the audience. With heinous masks and red jumpsuits, the eight thieves raid the bank and hold 67 hostages.

The second season begins with all the embezzlers living lavish lives with the money from the previous heist. But, it is time to relive the blood rush one more time. The professor plans to execute a long lost plan. This heist was structured by Berlin, the professor’s best friend. The whole facade starts and the professor puts up an exquisite plan. He sends his entourage to rob the Bank of Spain. The whole plotline takes a humongous turn when the newly appointed police team finds the location of the professor.
