Summary

From her sprawling Southern California mansion, Michelle Mack sends her team of 12 women - who authorities call 'The California Girls' - all over the country to steal tons of merchandise that she then sells on Amazon for millions of dollars. Though by day she hides her criminal lifestyle in plain sight, renting out her lavish hilltop mansion as a wedding venue. But this Queen of the Con's days are numbered and Johnathan Walton is there to see it all come crashing down around her.
