The streets of 1970s Montreal were a ruthless criminal playground. This documentary explores the true story of Frank "Dooney" Ryan, a cunning Irish Canadian gangster who built a sprawling cocaine empire that moved drugs worth over $90 billion through the city's port. We follow his incredible ascent from a petty thief to the "King of Coke," feared by rivals and the authorities alike. His reign, however, was a dangerous one, forcing him into a tense standoff with the powerful Italian mafia and leading to a brutal, violent end. We also follow the thrilling story of the Stopwatch Gang—three brilliant, charismatic Canadian bank robbers who planned and executed over 140 heists across North America. Their life on the run was a thrilling, high-stakes game of cat and mouse that came crashing down in a dramatic final showdown. This is a story of incredible power, explosive betrayals, and the legendary criminals who once controlled the underworld.
