Margo Martindale Shines in 'The Sticky,' Inspired by Real Maple Syrup Heist
Amazon Prime Video's comedy series 'The Sticky' is inspired by the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist, a real-life theft of $18.7 million worth of syrup in Quebec. The show, created by Brian Donovan and Ed Herro, fictionalizes the heist with a faster-paced plot and unique characters, diverging from the true story to add humor and drama. The series follows Ruth Landry, a maple syrup farmer, who plans a heist with the help of a security guard and a mobster. The real heist involved a slow, methodical theft discovered in 2012, leading to multiple arrests.
