The Outlaws (2021)
"Cleaning up their act is dirty work."
Synopsis
Seven strangers from different walks of life - people who would never normally interact - are forced to work together to renovate a derelict community centre. They resent the menial physical labour and they resent each other. But when one of their number gets dragged into a dangerous world of organised crime, they unite in ways none of them thought possible.

Episodes
Episode 1
Seven very different strangers begin their community payback sentences, renovating a derelict building in Bristol. But can any of these ‘outlaws’ really reform?
Episode 2
The outlaws find a bag of cash, clearly the proceeds of crime. But who does it belong to?
Episode 3
The outlaws find themselves in choppy waters. A campaigner is rejected by the very cause to which she dedicated her life, and a decision is made about the outlaw’s sudden windfall.
Episode 4
A lifelong scoundrel reflects on his past mistakes, the police recruit a surprising new deputy, and a young woman makes a decision which could endanger the lives of all of the outlaws. Can the outlaws launder their dirty money before the gangsters track them down?
Episode 5
The outlaws must hustle on two fronts — with a captain of industry, and a member of the landed gentry. An audacious break-in is planned, and an imposter is heartbreakingly exposed.
Episode 6
Even with redemption seemingly in reach, the outlaws find their time running out, and the net closing around them. They face a stark choice — die apart, or survive together?
