Matt Bomer plays Neal Caffrey, an art thief/forger/conman who has just escaped from prison with only a few weeks left on his sentence. Tim DeKay plays Peter Burke, the FBI agent who captured him the first time, and captures him again. Neal is anxious to be out of jail to track down his estranged girlfriend, and he coerces Peter to commute his sentence to work as a CI for the FBI under Peter.

While I often grow weary of crime procedurals, this one was really great. Bomer is brilliant as the conman, who often uses all of his old tricks to help Peter catch criminals for the White Collar crime division of the FBI, usually with the help of his old friend and partner Mozzie (Willie Garson), a paranoid conspiracy theorist. Former child actress Tiffani Theissan plays Peter's wife Elizabeth. As with most shows, the last two seasons are hit and miss, but the finale was absolutely perfect.
