Fired without notice, a fortune manager has the brilliant idea of ​​robbing his millionaire neighbors discreetly to maintain his lifestyle. Jon Hamm, always too rare, imposes his quiet class on this chic and cozy satire, halfway between The White Lotus And Desperate Housewives.

Rest assured, it happens very little during these nine episodes.

Look for real neighbors, false friends on Apple TV+ (the first two episodes are available, then one episode per week from April 18).
