Jesse and his friend had been looking forward to a carefree night out in Colombia. They visited several bars in the nightlife district and vaguely recalled ending up at a table with some strangers late in the evening. After that, everything went black.

The next morning, they woke up in their hotel room. Their heads were pounding, their memories were a blur, and they soon discovered that their phones, wallets, and watches were gone. Even their bank accounts had been drained during the night. Local police suspected they had fallen victim to a common tactic in which tourists are drugged and then robbed. Kees and his team head there and launch a manhunt.

A program in which Kees van der Spek ventures out into the world with a hidden camera in search of con artists, fraudsters, extortionists, and other criminals not only abroad but also on home soil.
