Taking his wife out off harms way, he returns to his home to defend his property.

As the gangs add more manpower and technology to the problem he's causing them, he loses ground until a tactical retreat is required. In a surprise medical twist, the entire political situation changes and he’s able to attempt a return trip however the situation has changed even more than he could ever have imagined and without any reliable information, is forced to move with great care through a countryside decimated by medical and political upheaval.
