Smith
Created by John Wells
On CBS
A short-lived heist drama centered on a thief's domestic tension between his criminal life and his desire for legitimate family stability.
Though Bobby Stevens appears to be a regular family man with a nine-to-five job, he's actually an expert thief who is seeking a few last big jobs so he can finally leave the business for a comfortable, lawful lifestyle with his wife, Hope, and their two children. While they never discuss Bobby's illegal pursuits, Hope is growing weary of turning a blind eye.
