Steal Season 1 Tv Series Storyline
The series follows Zara (Sophie Turner), an ordinary office worker at Lochmill Capital, a pension fund investment firm. Her quiet, routine life is shattered when a group of violent, masked thieves storm the building.
The robbers don’t want the money in the vault; they want the billions of pounds stored in ordinary people’s pensions. They force Zara and her best friend/colleague Luke (Archie Madekwe) to use their internal access to execute a massive, digital transfer of funds.
The “conundrum” deepens as the heist unfolds:
The Investigation: DCI Rhys (Jacob Fortune-Lloyd), a detective struggling with a relapsed gambling addiction and his own mounting debts, is assigned to the case.
The Conspiracy: As Rhys digs deeper, he discovers that the “robbers” may have ties to MI5 and that Zara might be more than just an innocent bystander.
The Fallout: The show explores the “butterfly effect” of the crime—how the theft of £4 billion in pensions impacts real families, while the characters involved face impossible moral dilemmas.
