Season 1 · The Ledger · Episode 1 The First Honest Theft

Ethan Cole is a respected forensic accountant whose career is collapsing, his marriage is deteriorating, and his daughter’s future depends on money he doesn’t have. When an investigation into a charitable foundation uncovers millions in suspicious transactions, Ethan discovers an opportunity to steal from people who have already stolen far more. What begins as an act of desperation becomes an ingenious financial deception, drawing him into a criminal network whose members know considerably more about him than he realizes. In the first episode of The Ledger, one seemingly justifiable decision begins transforming an ordinary man into someone capable of extraordinary crimes.
