Where Anna Delvey pulled off her con for self-serving reasons, the main character of "Lupin" has a different goal in mind. Assane Diop's father, an immigrant from Senegal, was framed for jewel theft by his wealthy and powerful employer. Trapped in prison for a crime he didn't commit, he takes his own life, leaving Assane a teenage orphan. Decades later, Assane sets out on a mission to take down the family responsible for his father's imprisonment and death. To get close, he pulls off a number of thefts, cons, and disguises, all so he can finally avenge his father and reveal the family for what they truly are.
