In this new chapter, we find our hero, Assane Diop, needing to go ‘underground’ after exacting his revenge on his rich and powerful nemesis Hubert Pelligrini (portrayed by Hervé Pierre). The stakes are higher than ever for Assane, whose past is as layered as the best French pastry.
In this modern take of the literary classic, the series is a thrilling French affair that follows the escapades of Assane Diop, portrayed by the charismaticOmar Sy. He is a son of a Senegalese immigrant who was working as a driver for the wealthy Pelligrini family. Later on, he was orphaned when his father was framed for a crime he did not commit. The series then progresses with Assane’s exploits as the titular master thief, while biding his time to go up against the Pelligrini family.
Now, with a family of his own, Assane must weigh his next moves carefully. His love for his wife Claire (played by Ludivine Sagnier) and son Raoul (Etan Simon) pulls him back to Paris, where he plots to convince them to leave the country for safer shores.
