In the throes of COVID-19 a movement gained power. A silly on, but still, Q Anon grew unexpectedly.
In hindsight it would be laughable that it ever happened, except for the damage done to our nation, and families and individuals.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there.
