Rough Diamond

Disc 1
Rough Diamond (Pilot)
Nobody at Barton Prison would suspect that stuttering simpleton Des was crafty at anything—except making tea. But brash newbie Phil soon discovers there’s more to Des than meets the eye, and together they plot a jewel heist that will change their lives forever.

A Royal Affair
Des and Phil have retired to a luxurious life in the south of France when Scotland Yard arrives to put the squeeze on the thieves. To avoid prison, the pair must agree to steal a priceless jewel from the seemingly impenetrable security of Buckingham Palace. No problem—until a seductive journalist threatens the caper and their partnership.

Disc 2
Old Gold
Did the KGB really stash ₤8 million of gold somewhere in London before the close of the Cold War? That’s the tale told by a sexy former spy. She and Des descend into a shadowy world of sleeper cells, agency rivalries, and personal vendettas. But with both British and Russian agents on their tail, the consummate con artist wonders if he’s getting scammed himself.

Old School Lies
An old friend’s death leads Des to Jeremy Leyfield, a corporate consultant with a penchant for stealing pension funds. Determined to return some of the loot to the grieving mother, Des assembles a crack criminal team to infiltrate Leyfield’s estate. Can Des and company successfully play Robin Hood against the robber barons?
