A genius strategist known only as "The Professor" (played by Yoo Ji-tae) assembles a ragtag team of thieves and ex-convicts. Their mission? To pull off the biggest heist in history—stealing 4 trillion won (approximately $3 billion) from the newly unified JEA Mint. The team adopts city names as code names: Tokyo (Jeon Jong-seo), Berlin (Park Hae-soo), Moscow (Lee Won-jong), Denver (Kim Ji-hun), Nairobi (Jang Yoon-ju), Rio (Lee Hyun-woo), and Helsinki (Kim Ji-hoon).
