It is identical to Burn Notice, except, instead of a burnt spy working with his friends, it's a captured con artist/forger working with the FBI as a deal to avoid being imprisoned. Muct like Burn Notice, each episode includes him being a badass to catch bad guys. Unlike Burn Notice, there are virtually no guns, but rather scams/impersonations/forgeries to get what is needed.
Shit's good.

I might check this out. I watched the first few episodes of Burn Notice way back when it first aired and thought it was way too campy/unrealistic. I'm pretty surprised it's still on the air.
I am reading a book right now that talks a lot about con artists, and I find the whole con artist thing fascinating as fuck. Their ability to manipulate and deceive other people, and the degree they play on people's predictability is really interesting. Makes one wonder how many times they've been conned in their life, even small-time things like social manipulation, without even realizing it.
