Starring the Emmy Award winner Margo Martindale (“BoJack Horseman”, “Dexter”) the production is made up of six episodes that will cover the case that took 18 million dollars in maple syrup from the national reserves of Quebec, Canada.
Martindale plays Ruth Landry, “a middle-aged maple syrup farmer who returns to crime when bureaucratic authorities threaten to take away everything she loves,” as the synopsis teases.
Along the way, he teams up with a Boston mobster with an explosive temperament (Chris Diamantopoulos) and a mild-mannered French-Canadian security guard (Guillaume Cyr) to organize the robbery to protect what he considers to be his.
