Prompted by an old friend of Sophie's, the team takes on a husband-wife couple who run a multi-level marketing pyramid scheme that preys on young mothers, emotionally and financially
A year after the passing of Nate Ford, his widow, Sophie Devereaux, reunites with their former crew: Eliot Spencer, Alec Hardison, and Parker. They meet Harry Wilson, a crooked lawyer searching for redemption, and help him to con one of his amoral clients. After the job, Harry convinces the team to stick together and return to "picking up where the law leaves off" while he tries to return to the side of good. The team is also joined by Hardison's foster sister, Breanna Casey, who takes Hardison's place on the crew while Hardison works with a dozen subsidiary Leverage operations and various pro-democracy and non-profit organizations around the world.
The Leverage crew have watched the world change over the last eight years. Since their last job, it's become easier (and sometimes legal) for the rich to become richer and the powerful to squash anyone who gets in their way. The team opens a new Leverage Consulting office in New Orleans and continues working to take down rich criminals and help those who need their particular brand of justice.
The Hitter, the Hacker, the Grifter and the Thief are together again. When someone needs help, they provide... Leverage.
