The Premise
According to Deadline, Crime 101 is set to be an intriguing crime story in the vein of Heat. The narrative revolves around a series of high-level jewel heists that have occurred up and down the Pacific Coast Highway. These crimes have remained unsolved for years, primarily because the perpetrator has lived by a strict code he calls “Crime 101”.
The Twist
While the police have attributed these thefts to Colombian cartels, Detective Lou Lubesnick believes it’s the work of just one man—a lone-wolf jewel thief. The thief is now on the hunt for that fabled final score, and Detective Lubesnick is willing to break all the rules of “Crime 101” to catch him.
