LatestThe long-delayed heist gets underway in the middle of a farmers’ uprising, and the gang must use all their ingenuity to improvise their way through a series of unforeseen disasters.

With the help of Remy Bouchard, a pint-sized local blockhead and an aging Mike Byrne, a low-level mobster, Ruth changes her fate — and transforms the future of her community with the theft of millions of dollars’ worth of maple syrup.
