(not a real show) At UPenn, a sidelined criminology professor, Richard Moore, assembles a Illicit ensemble with four students, each 25 and facing their own life challenges. Moore seeks financial security for his family as the university edges him out, while Amada Lopez hopes to make up for lost time, Morgan Wright wants to elevate her fashion business, Ryan Parker is determined to rebuild after military service, and Jelan Harris finally pursues the education he put on hold to care for his mother. Together, they navigate a dangerous world of crime, balancing ambition, loyalty, and moral compromise, discovering that survival—and success—requires breaking the rules and trusting the unlikeliest of allies
