ABOUT THIS EPISODE
David never serves time for the theft of a painting now worth over £200 million. But it won’t be the last time he’s incarcerated. Increasingly housebound David begins to write letters, hundreds of letters, many are funny and insightful, but as time wears on they become increasingly vicious and threatening.
The letters bring the police…and the CIA… to David’s door.
