Royal Mint of Spain heist:
A young female robber known as "Tokyo" is saved from getting arrested by a man only known as "The Professor", who proposes her to join a diverse team of robbers for a large multi-day heist he has planned, with the Royal Mint of Spain as the target location. When Tokyo decides to join in, she's told that the goal is different from that of most heists: instead of stealing money, they're going to use the Mint's equipment and employees to print 2.4 billion euros for themselves.
Once the team gets inside the mint and takes everyone inside it as hostages while preparing the printing equipment, the police set up a camp nearby to keep them under watch. At command of the case in the police's side is Inspector Raquel Murillo, who's struggling between a family life as a divorced mother and a job life surrounded by people who don't expect much of her. That, alongside the issues that the criminals and other officers have within their respective groups, are bound to screw up the Professor's schemes sooner or later.

The Professor finds himself under a double life towards Raquel, one being his newly-made romantic relationship with her, and the other his attempts to prevent her from discovering his identity as the mastermind of the heist team.
