"The Curse" is a British crime-comedy series that takes place in the British capital in the early 80s. The story revolves around a gang of small-time, unlucky hustlers who, due to their own naivety and lack of foresight, find themselves involved in one of the most significant heists in history, the theft of precious metals. The con artists don't immediately realize the magnitude of the robbery they're getting into and how irreversible the consequences of this crime will be for each of them.
