When the council's iron grip tightens on Bonner's Gap-torching barns, harassing "dissenters", and talking re-education, the Kane family stages a tactical retreat from the crazy their home had become. Ezra, a Marine honed in battle, now Father, leads his beloved Mara and their children into Montana's wilds, on their trek to safety at the family cabin, blood staining their hand, freedom's price in a world gone sour.
A tale of family, grit, guts, and the thin line between survival and ruin.
