But the Federal Bureau of Investigation knows that crime is crime, no matter how noble the robber's intentions appear. As our agents unravel this web of Robin Hood-like deception, you'll find yourself wrestling with uncomfortable questions about justice and morality. Is this modern-day bandit a hero or a menace? The tension builds relentlessly as Phillips and his team close in, and you won't know where their investigation will lead until the final, thrilling moment.
