What is Culprits on Disney+ UK about?

Disney+ explains: “Culprits kicks off where most crime stories end: after a high-stakes heist, when the crew of elite criminals have gone their separate ways and have tried to leave their old lives behind.

“Past and present collide when a ruthless assassin starts targeting them one by one.

“Why are they being stalked, who is behind the mayhem, and will they be able to find one another in time to protect themselves and the people they love?”
