The series is based on a book

It's a crime drama series, based on a book by Dennis Tafoya.

It tells the story of the character, Ray (an ex-con), who's trying to make his life better, but gets involved in the Philadelphia drug wars.

Here's a sneak peek:

Dope Thief stars Brian Tyree Henry (Ray) and Wagner Moura (Ray's best friend, Manny). Henry also served as Executive Producer. It was directed by Peter Craig and produced by Ridley Scott.

The duo impersonates DEA agents to steal from drug dealers, the article says. Then, they hit a big jackpot and their targets want their money back.
