Cupertino, Calif.—What if you were a wealthy, successful Wall Street type who suddenly discovers you no longer have the money to keep up with your wealthy neighbors?
Well, one option would be to start stealing from them.
In the new Apple TV+ series “Your Friends & Neighbors,” Andrew (Coop) Cooper, played by “The Morning Show” and “Mad Men” star Jon Hamm, gets fired from his job as a hedge fund manager.
He quickly finds out he only has enough money to get through the next six months, so he embarks on a new career—semi-professional jewel thief.
Cooper begins breaking into the homes of his ultra-wealthy neighbors to steal jewelry, luxury handbags, and art in order to pawn them for cash, all the while becoming privy to his neighbors’ affairs and secrets.
