Martindale plays tough maple syrup farmer Ruth Landry in the six-episode series based on the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist of 201112. The gang forms when Ruth, whose livelihood is threatened by bureaucrats, is convinced by opportunistic, short-fused mobster Mike Byrne (Chris Diamantopoulos) and naive security guard Remy Bouchard (Guillaume Cyr) to join their multimillion-dollar burglary of Quebec's surplus syrup.
