The Sticky is an episodic half-hour comedy series created by Brian Donovan and Ed Herro inspired by the true story dubbed the “Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist,” which made headlines around the world in 2011. The heist saw more than $18 million dollars (CAD) of Quebec’s national maple syrup reserves stolen—which represent more than 70% of the global maple syrup supply.
The Sticky revolves around Ruth Clarke, a tough, supremely competent middle-aged Canadian maple syrup farmer who’s had it with being hemmed in by the polite, bureaucratic conventions native to her country’s identity. Especially now that that very bureaucracy is threatening to take away everything she loves: Her farm, her comatose husband, and her right to freedom. With the help of Remy Bouchard, a local blockhead and 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.
