Plunkett & MacLeane

In an era where the aristocracy rules over 18th-century England, two unlikely partners form a unique alliance. Will Plunkett, a seasoned criminal with a knack for planning heists, teams up with Captain James Macleane, a man of high social standing, to engage in a daring endeavor: robbing the wealthy elite while maintaining their gentlemanly façade. As "The Gentlemen Highwaymen," they swiftly gain notoriety and fame, but things take an unexpected turn when they hold up Lord Chief Justice Gibson's coach. Captivated by Lady Rebecca Gibson, Macleane finds himself in a delicate situation, as the persistent Thief Taker General Chance relentlessly pursues both the gentlemen and Rebecca, his own affection for her complicating matters further. This intriguing tale of love, deception, and high-stakes heists unravels amidst the opulent backdrop of 18th-century England.
