A mysterious criminal nicknamed "The Professor" puts together a team of skilled thieves. Their plan involves hostage taking, negotiations with the police, and lots of other elements that are extremely risky. Their ultimate goal is to hold the Mint for a period of time. While they're inside, they'll print huge amounts of money before making their getaway. Of course, the caper doesn't go exactly according to plan. But it is successful enough to inspire the team to plan a second robbery after the first. The series originally debuted on the Spanish Antena 3 network in 2017.
