Nate and the team infiltrate the world of Big Pharma to take down a corrupt CEO before he can release a drug that will kill thousands.

Nate Ford (Timothy Hutton) was an insurance investigator until his company refused to pay for his young son's medical treatment, resulting in his death. Now, two years later, divorced and descending into alcoholism, Nate is hired to head a team of highly skilled criminals to recover stolen airplane designs: Alec Hardison, an internet and computer specialist; Eliot Spencer, a "retrieval specialist;" Parker, an expert thief; and Sophie Devereaux, a high-society grifter. As the team works more cons together targeting the richest, greediest, and most unjust, they discover trust along the way.

Thrills, cons, and the pursuit of justice are back as TNT's fast-paced drama series Leverage returns this summer. Academy Award winner Timothy Hutton (Ordinary People) stars along with Gina Bellman (Coupling), Christian Kane (TNT's Into the West), Beth Riesgraf (Alvin and the Chipmunks) and Aldis Hodge (Friday Night Lights). The five-member team of thieves, grifters, and con artists return to settle more scores against those who use power and wealth to victimize others.

The team will be forced to face the moral ambiguity of what they do as Nate continues to struggle with his inner demons. They will target a public relations expert who protects his clients by destroying the lives of anyone who gets in their way; a millionaire who pays to have himself moved up on a heart-transplant waiting list; a woman who profits from people's grief through a funeral scam; a big corporation out to bury potato farmers; and a group trying to kill a World War II veteran who allegedly has a very rare Van Gogh painting.
