The upcoming Stan Original Series Thou Shalt Not Steal is already internationally acclaimed.

The upcoming Stan Original Series Thou Shalt Not Steal feels quintessentially Australian at its core.

"You didn't know about me, eh? That's it. Say goodbye to your ball bags," the show's protagonist, Robyn, starts the trailer off with a bang. 

The series had a warm reception at its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) and will be available to watch from the comfort of your home very soon. Coming to Stan on October 17, the show promises drama and a whole lot of laughter.

From AACTA award-winning filmmaker Dylan River, the show is set in Australia in the 1980s, and follows a young Aboriginal delinquent Robyn in her search for the truth behind her family's secret. After she escapes from detention, she crosses paths with an awkward teenager Gidge and the two, reluctantly, team up and journey across Australia's outback to find the answers they need.

Things get heated during their dangerous expedition across the country, as Robyn is pursued by Maxine, a sex trafficker whose car she stole, while Gidge's father Robert, a preacher who has a few skeletons in his own closet, follows suit to find his son. And a chase begins.
