Gained a massive cult-following when the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyeYs8JPqdY sizzle-reel]] (intended to pitch the concept to television networks) was leaked online. Probably one of the only times a new IP has a massive fan-base before it is even made.

The military, liking the power they had during the war, are quite happy for things to stay that way. Unfortunately for those in charge, a small group of individuals have stolen a prototype spaceship capable of "slinging" itself across space, and in theory, getting home. Fortunately for those in charge, [[AntiHero this group]] prefers to use the ship pull off a [[Revenge succession of heists]] and [[TheCon cons]] on those that they feel have unfairly used the war for profit. Unfortunately for those in charge, that includes them.

!!Tropes applying to this series:

* CargoShip: Frank and his AI imbued [[EmpathicWeapon Gun]]. A rare [[IncrediblyLamePun cannon]] example.
* DeathByOriginStory: The holographic pilot of the Blackjack is a [[BrainUploading copy]] of DM's dead girlfriend, Jeannie.
* FiveManBand:
** TheHero: Dominic "DM" Monroe
** TheLancer: Frank
** TheBigGuy: Junior
** [[TheSmartGuy TheSmartGal]]: Marti
** TheChick: Jeannie
* RobotBuddy: Junior
* WrenchWench: Marti is shown disabling the power of the leisure ship in the sizzle reel. Since her father built the titular technology powering the [[CoolShip Blackjack]] it's fair to assume technical savvy runs in the family.
