The television series LEVERAGE follows a team of thieves, hackers and con artists who act as modern-day Robin Hoods, standing up for the little guy who has been victimized by the rich and powerful. In LEVERAGE, Timothy Hutton plays NATE FORD, a former insurance investigator and once-loyal employee who had recovered millions of dollars in stolen goods. But when Nate’s company refused to pay for his young son’s medical treatment – claiming it was “experimental” – the boy died and Nate’s world fell apart. Now, two years later, divorced and descending into alcoholism, Nate is approached by an aeronautics executive to recover airplane designs that he claims were stolen by a rival corporation. Nate is hired to be the one honest man to keep tabs on the members of his highly skilled team of criminals: ALEC HARDISON (Aldis Hodge – Friday Night Lights), a specialist in internet and computer fraud; ELIOT SPENCER (Christian Kane – Into the West), a high-octane “retrieval specialist” who can take out a gang of henchmen without breaking a sweat; and PARKER (Beth Riesgraf – Alvin and the Chipmunks), an expert thief. At first, the newly formed team is hesitant to trust one another after years of working alone, but being double-crossed changes the dynamic, forcing them to unite to get revenge on the back-stabbing executive. Enter SOPHIE DEVEREAUX (Gina Bellman – Coupling), a high-society grifter and wannabe actress Nate hires to complete the team. They emerge from the job realizing they’re much better together than apart. The group decides to work more cons targeting the richest, the greediest and the most unjust… and discovers trust along the way.
