Description
After pulling off a bank robbery in series one, series two sees Jenny and Cecilia tackle another classic heist: art theft. Where banks were the target in series one, their focus has now shifted to the rich tax-evading men earning big money at the taxpayers' expense. This is Kalmar, Sweden's local aristocracy, who play bridge at the gentlemen's club and only watch out for each other.
