A group of Canadian criminals rob North American banks in the 1980s without ever having to fire their guns. Lionel Wright is a meticulous introvert who could disappear in a room full of people. Paddy Mitchell is a charming and well-connected crook who sees an angle in everything and will go to any lengths to avoid the hell of being locked away. And Stephen Reid is a fearless point man who can find the weakness in any system and whose story — of addiction and descent into crime, of redemption and literary fame — is all prelude to a tragic but life-saving fall from grace. The men rob an estimated 100 banks, from which they steal roughly $10 million.
