Nobody tells Lou Belmonte he can't hug his wife of 50 years. When pandemic regulations prevent him from visiting his beloved Cameo in a memory care lockdown, he busts her out, assaulting a cop who tries to stop him. The couple flees to a remote fire lookout in Montana's Bob Marshall Wilderness, with law enforcement in hot pursuit.
Their daughter begs for help from investigator Tawny Lindholm and her criminal defense attorney husband, Tillman Rosenbaum. They're in a race to find the aging fugitives before the cops do because Vietnam veteran Lou won't go down without a fight.
