Here is the rephrased section:
Edwin Boyd (Scott Speedman), a disillusioned veteran of World War II, trudges through life as a Toronto bus driver, barely scraping by. His wife, Doreen (Kelly Reilly), whom he met in England during the war, and their two young children are his only solace from the crushing reality of poverty. Boyd's dreams of stardom in Hollywood, though deeply ingrained, are constantly belittled by his retired policeman father (Brian Cox) - a constant reminder that his aspirations are futile. As desperation sets in, Boyd resorts to drastic measures, donning a disguise and stealing an old pistol to rob a bank. This ill-fated decision unleashes a chain of events that would go on to define one of Canada's most notorious crime sprees.
As the Boyd Gang takes shape, comprising Lenny Jackson (Kevin Durand), Ann Roberts (Melanie Scrofano), and Val Kozak (Joseph Cross), the tension between Boyd and Jackson becomes palpable. Both men are war veterans, but while Jackson's physical presence is a testament to his hardness, Boyd's charisma has earned him unwanted attention from the media. The bond between them, however, runs deeper than mere camaraderie - it is a fraternal connection forged in the fires of war.
Val Kozak, too, finds himself entangled in the gang's mayhem. His young wife and family depend on his ability to provide, but his extramarital affair with Mary Mitchell (Charlotte Sullivan), a stunning blonde with a penchant for flashy parties and fur coats, reveals a complex individual hiding past hurts and deep-seated desires for love and attention.
Meanwhile, Detective Rhys (William Mapother) stands as the embodiment of law and order. A somber family man who takes his work with utmost seriousness, he is relentless in his pursuit of the Boyd Gang, ever vigilant and always one step ahead.
As Boyd's marriage to Doreen falters, it becomes clear that the harsh realities of his criminal lifestyle have finally taken their toll. Despite his initial motivation being driven by a desire to provide for his family and prove himself as a man, the demands of his new life prove too great for him to overcome.
