The Mastermind

In a sleepy Massachusetts community in 1970, JB Mooney (Josh O’Connor) dreams big but isn’t much for the finer details. Noting the laughably low security at the local art museum, the unemployed carpenter drafts and clumsily orchestrates a less-than-daring heist that leaves him in possession of four modestly valuable paintings, but no clue as to what to do next. Feeling the heat from both local authorities and organized crime figures, the practically penniless JB goes on the lam, drifting through Nixon-era America.
