Crime 101 is set in Los Angeles, a city that has witnessed a series of high-stakes jewel robberies along the 101 Freeway.
Mike Davis, played by Chris Hemsworth, is the mastermind behind these crimes.
He is portrayed as a highly controlled, calm thief seeking "street money" from his long-respected last job, carrying out the robberies with precision and non-violent precision.
On the other hand, Detective Lou Lubesnick, played by Mark Ruffalo, is a tenacious detective who believes he has discovered a pattern in Mike Davis' crimes.
Lou, determined to catch Mike before his next act, is portrayed as a brilliant and messy cop like Columbo.
