The Heat is drowning in the kind of debt that doesn't forgive, and his only way out is assembling a crew of washed-up supervillains for one score that everyone swears won't kill them. Every character here is running from something worse than failure, and the show understands that a heist only works when desperation is the real enemy. Johnny Bolt's obsession with saving his hero creates a collision course nobody walks away clean from, because in this world, retirement is a myth the jails proved wrong.

The Heat is the most beloved supercrook of all time, and he is in serious trouble. He owes a gambling debt to the mob, and if he cannot repay it in cash, he will pay with his life. Johnny Bolt, his biggest fan, comes up with a plan to save him and make all of his friends fabulously wealthy along the way. The catch is that Johnny's recruits must travel to Spain and rob the most notorious super villain in the world. Everyone swears it will be one final job before retirement, even though the prisons are full of villains who believed the same thing. The series is an action thriller with supernatural elements, adapted from the comic by Mark Millar and Leinil Francis Yu.
