Scoundrels is a series about a family of thieves and con artists in Palm Springs, California. It starts out looking like one show, a sexy, light- hearted comedy about larceny, and ends up looking like another: a slightly more serious, and potentially irritatingly sentimental, drama/comedy about trying to go straight. When the leader of the West family, Wolf, is arrested and sentenced to five years in prison, his wife Cheryl is forced to take over the family business and attempt to get things back on track for her family, which includes her brainy but sneaky daughter Hope, the beautiful but flaky daughter Heather, Cal, the scruffy, loser-ish son whose following in his father's footsteps and Cal's twin brother Logan, the one family member who appears to be on the straight and narrow path as he's about to be a lawyer.
