Who doesn’t love maple syrup? It isn’t just good on pancakes and waffles, but use it in your oatmeal, or smother your breakfast meat with it. It’s damn near perfect. So a plot to steal millions of dollars worth of maple syrup? Sounds about right to me. And that’s what we’re going to see in the new Prime Video series, The Sticky, led by multi-time Emmy winner Margo Martindale.
The Sticky stars Martindale as Ruth Landry, a maple syrup farmer who is threatened with losing everything by the beaurucratic authorities. So in order to protect what she’s got and get some payback, Ruth hatches a plot to steal from Quebec’s maple syrup surplus.
Crazy story, right? For sure, but it’s also based on true events. Even the crimes in Canada are nicer than ours.
Martindale is joined in the cast by Chris Diamantopoulos, Guillaume Cyr, and Jamie Lee Curtis.
SYNOPSIS: The Sticky follows Ruth Landry (three-time Emmy Award winner Margo Martindale), a tough, middle-aged maple syrup farmer who turns to crime when the bureaucratic authorities threaten to take away everything she loves. She teams up with the hot-tempered Bostonian mobster (Chris Diamantopoulos), and a mild-mannered French-Canadian security guard (Guillaume Cyr) to carry out a multi-million-dollar heist on Quebec’s maple syrup surplus.
Prime Video debuts The Sticky on December 6th.
