There are those who play at theft, like actress Sylvie Virgule. Those who accuse others of theft, like Nolan Pilcrow. Those who protect corporations from theft, like Paul Boustrophedon. Filmmaker D. A. Chimister views theft as entertainment, and in Fort Green, Brooklyn, under his direction on the set of Love & Theft, the lives of Virgule, Pilcrow and Bou begin to intertwine. The new streaming series is the much-anticipated follow-up from Chimister, the mentor who launched Sylvie's career.
In the Catskills, underemployed Hank Delaney steals to survive-not entertaining at all. And his one-time criminal partner, musician Ray Ramirez, gave up theft. But when the vintage muscle car belonging to Delaney's high school nemesis, John Segal, becomes vulnerable, all bets are off. Delaney convinces Ramirez to con the sister. Shelby Segal is minding the car while her brother recovers, and her ambition to sing professionally sends Ray to his storage locker to retrieve his dusty keyboard and sheet music as he prepares for the role of manager Ray Toledo, Intimacy gained, he'll seek access to Segal's shop keys.
Meanwhile In Nova Scotia, five-year-old prodigy Walter Chamaran gains the attention of Buddhist monks, who seek to bring the boy to their monastery for observation. Walter is the glue that binds the lives of the NYC actors, the upstate thieves, and the car owners. His heroic act unites and reconciles the disparate American cliques with the sublimity of two maxipad-shaped strips of rubberized felt joining to form a tennis ball. A little unity, just what this country needs.
