 usband and father\, a man with no internet and a car that barely runs\, re
 emerge into a broken world to track down his missing daughter and save his
  sweet\, precocious grandchildren from the members of a dangerous militia?
 \n\n\n\nWith the help of his caustic ex-girlfriend\, a bipolar retired det
