A lighthearted action-comedy built on the absurdist premise of a thief impersonating a cop, prioritizing laughs and charm over stakes or depth.

Miles Logan is a jewel thief who just hit the big time by stealing a huge diamond. However, after two years in jail, he comes to find out that he hid the diamond in a police building that was being built at the time of the robbery. In an attempt to regain his diamond, he poses as an LAPD detective.
