Mississauga Confidential Case 05 - Odds Against Tomorrow: The Notorious Rutledge Gang

In today’s case a man climbs the criminal ladder, straight to the top.

Frank Rutledge, scion of a prominent Streetsville family, takes a turn down a dark path.

From small-time robber to notorious Chicago gangster, Rutledge spends his life weaving lies to keep one step ahead of the law. But a man can only run for so long...

And as Frank Rutledge would eventually learn, those at the top have the furthest to fall.
