…a routine raid led by a detective in the Irish Criminal Assets Bureau reveals that a small-time drug dealer has been receiving substantial funding from a seemingly untraceable source…
This 6-episode international thriller is set in both Co Clare, a small town in Ireland, and the world’s diamond capital, Antwerp, Belgium.
In Hidden Assets, a routine raid led by a detective in the Irish Criminal Assets Bureau reveals that a small-time drug dealer has been receiving substantial funding from a seemingly untraceable source – not in cash, but in rough diamonds.
When these diamonds are linked to a series of bombings in Belgium, Detective Emer Berry (Ball) is forced to work with Police Commissioner Christian De Jong (Wouter Hendrickx, Blackout, Undercover). Eventually banding together, they unravel a political conspiracy fueling domestic unrest for financial gain. Caught up in this web of greed are the Brannigans, a wealthy Irish dynasty with ties to Antwerp. Drawn into a battle of wits with the family, Emer, Christian and CAB team must follow the money to stop another terrorist attack before it’s too late.
Hidden Assets is a spinoff based on the Acorn TV Original series Acceptable Risk. The series — a co-production between AMC Networks and Ireland’s RTÉ — is directed by the Emmy-nominated Dublin Thaddeus O’Sullivan, created by Peter McKenna (Kin) as producer and writer of three episodes.
