What Season 2 of Hustle

The second season opens with the BBC convinced by the strong reception of the first episodes. The crew, led by Adrian Lester, keeps running long cons, long-running schemes that demand patience and a very precise division of roles. Their targets are usually immoral, criminal or hateful people, though they never cheat an honest man. Trouble comes in the form of a property developer who has already been scammed, a Nigerian tycoon who forces them to forge an antique banknote, and an auction house that gets complicated when a detective shows up. Mickey drives several of the plans, while Danny wants to mentor Trevor, a young con artist he has just found.
