Is there anything more Canadian than maple syrup? As an American, this is something I feel qualified to speak about. So, it’s pretty fitting that Prime Video has a new series, “The Sticky,” coming up about a huge heist. But they’re not stealing money. No, no, no. They’re stealing syrup.

As seen in the trailer for “The Sticky,” the series tells the story of a middle-aged woman who is on the verge of losing her maple syrup farm. To get back at the bureaucratic authorities who have done her wrong, she devises a plan to steal millions of dollars worth of maple syrup. And if this sounds like something incredibly far-fetched, then you should know that it’s inspired by a true story. 
The cast includes Margo Martindale, Chris Diamantopoulos, Guillaume Cyr, and Jamie Lee Curtis. The series is showrun by Brian Donovan and Ed Herro. READ MORE: 2024 Fall Film Preview: 50 Movies To Watch

Here’s the 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.
