The story begins in 1922 New York, where Charlotte, Matilda, and Robert will conspire to execute the world's greatest cons beginning with stealing the Eiffel Tower. They’ll have to do this all while igniting old flames, making new friends, plotting out multiple cons, outrunning a PI named Jack who is determined to exact his revenge on Robert for a so-called murder and an endless stream of escapes, and more. It's a true adventure of cat-and-mouse. Curiously iconic cons, TCM explores life in the 1920’s and 30’s, fluid sexuality, corruption, the value of loyalty, and the power of paying attention to the details. These three con artists take the world by storm, right societal wrongs, and attempt to keep their shit together long enough not to fall apart ... or get caught! TCM is inspired by female titans of industry, music legends and extraordinary women in history such as Alberta Hunter, Maggie Lena Walker, Annie Turnbo Malone, and Mary McLeod Bethune, and the world's greatest con-artist Victor Lustig. The story tells the fictional tale of characters in an underground network instrumental in undermining social constructs, economic blunders, and orchestrating high-class crimes exposing criminals, racist and fascist regimes rising in the ranks, and it teeters on the edge of economic vigilantism.
