V Den' blagodareniya v 2016 godu, cherez neskol'ko nedel' posle vyborov, u zhurnalista Risa Kinnika konchaetsya terpenie. V pylu spora o politike on udaryaet novogo muzha docheri - religioznogo fanatika i storonnika teoriy zagovora, posle chego, v uzhase ot svoego postupka, a takzhe ot proiskhodyashchego v mire i sostoyaniya sobstvennoy psihiki, vybrasyvaet smartfon v okno mashiny i skryvaetsya v hizhine v gluhih lesah na severo-zapade strany.

Sem' let spustya on edva uznaet vnukov, kotorye vnezapno poyavlyayutsya u nego na poroge. Ih mat' propala, a ostavat'sya s otcom, svyazavshimsya s gruppoy radikal'no nastroennyh hristianskih nacionalistov, - opasno. Nu i chto, chto v lachuge Risa net elektrichestva i normal'nogo vodoprovoda, a na ego pripasy regulyarno posyagayut enoty? On gotov na vse, chtoby pomoch' svoey sem'e. Kogda vooruzhennye opolchency pohishchayut detey, geroy ponimaet: emu vse zhe pridetsya vernut'sya v sletevshiy s katushek mir.

Zaruchivshis' pomoshch'yu otstavnogo kopa s bipolyarnym rasstroystvom i byvshey vozlyublennoy Lyusi, Ris otpravlyaetsya v bezumnoe puteshestvie po ruinam zhizni, ot kotoroy nekogda sbezhal.
