Iain takes us to the 1930s to uncover the twisting tale of Pretty Boy Floyd, a young outlaw that escapes a prison train and vanishes into the hills. Follow this smooth-talking fugitive who charmed the public and was named Public Enemy No.1 by the FBI.

When a mysterious ambush leaves multiple people dead, the hunt intensifies. With law enforcement closing in, Floyd’s story becomes a legend of escape, loyalty, and the dark glamour of the outlaw life.
